Can beneficiaries also be charity trustees?

Answered 29 Jan 2008 by c.cattell

We are a registered charity providing studio space to artists since 1977. We and have just been informed that our Trustees (or their relatives/associates) can't lease studio space from us at below market rent. Is this true? I hope so because having these beneficiaries on our Board is not a positive thing! This affects 4 out of 9 Trustees.
