Charity Trustee

Posts: 143 Forumite
I was discharged from bankruptcy 3 years ago. Am I allowed to be a charity trustee? I want to join my Son's School PTA committee and they are a registered charity.

maybe/maybe not...bankruptcy will remain on insolvency register for up to 3 months after you have been discharged - will remain on your credit report for 6 years. It will however remain on the Gazette for much much longer, so when they do their checks etc, expect them to search these insolvency registers
as you have been discharged three years ago, it should be an issue. once discharged though, it may be easier to do so or get a waiver - may be best to read the link here - nearer the bottom will give you types of disqualified persons

My take on it is that you will be fine.
Based on the words quite near the top which state, you are not disqualified if your conviction is spent. Of course I could be wrong....0 -
It’s bankruptcy not a conviction...
As far as I understand the restrictions placed on you during bankruptcy no longer apply once you’ve been discharged. You’ve been discharged so in theory theee shouldn’t be an issue.0
