Declarations of Interest

Members of the Board are invited to declare any interest they may have in any of the items on the agenda.

The duty on Board Members/Trustees is to act in the best interests of the company, not to put oneself in a position whereby his/her interests conflict with those of the charitable company, nor to obtain personal benefit from the role.

There are various types of conflict. The following are given as examples and should not be taken as an exhaustive list. NCVO suggest that Board Members use the ‘Tabloid Test’ when in doubt, i.e. “How would this look if it was taken up by a tabloid journalist?”  Conflicts might include:

  • Membership or involvement in an organisation doing similar work to and competing for funds from the same sources as StreetGames;
  • Involvement in the development of policies that StreetGames adopts;
  • Or funding streams that StreetGames has yet to apply for.
