How our Association Works
Charities are founded upon a legal document called a Trust Deed, and this document is enacted by a Board of Trustees. Each Trustee acts in a voluntary capacity and together acting as a Board of Trustees, they are responsible for the operation of our charity and ensuring that legal requirements are met, which includes things like the provision of an up to date and appropriate set of Policies & Procedures.
​
We have a Management Team. This small team of volunteers is tasked with day to day tasks as well as guiding the future direction of our charity in conjunction with the Board of Trustees.
​
Our general administration is managed by a paid administrator.
​
Beyond the authority of the Trustees created by their legal responsibility, we enjoy a culture that welcomes the involvement of our members, and in this respect we operate without hierarchy in our day to day meetings and events and all members can contribute equally, all perspectives are valid and respected and contribute to the whole.
