Charitable Status
Max Appeal is a registered charity (Max Appeal is a registered charity in England and Wales (no 1088432) and Scotland (SC051380). ), which means we are bound by rules and ethics that date back many hundreds of years to preserve honesty, integrity and the ethos of charity.
It is the role of the trustees to ensure that the charity achieves its aims and objects as set out in its constitution. Max Appeal has a very limited income and uses its money as prudently, diligently and frugally as possible to maximise its impact for the benefit of the 22q11.2 community.
If you would like to become a trustee, then let us know. The attributes of a good trustee are loyalty and empathy, and a willingness to learn and to give. If you have an area of expertise such as law or accounting, then that is valuable, but equally so is a motivation to make things happen. Being a trustee can be demanding and hard work but hopefully you will feel that you are making a difference.
