Structure, governance and management
The trustees delegate day to day running of the Charity to the UK Development Coordinator, Joshua Churney, based at the School. The Chief Executive Officer and the UK Development Coordinator are responsible under the guidance of the trustees for delivering various day to day operational activities such as fundraising, marketing, communications, School visits, and delivering global synergies (such as combining marketing communications and leveraging functional expertise).

Any of the existing trustees have the opportunity to put forward prospective trustees for consideration. Prospective trustees have an interview and are then invited to attend a meeting as an observer before an offer is made to join the board. In the event the trustees are not unanimous in the recruitment decision, the final decision on whether a trustee should be appointed to the board remains with the Chairman.
British Friends of Boys Town Jerusalem is a company limited by guarantee without share capital. Its governance is determined by the memdérandum and articles of association dated August 2003, with amendments unanimously approved by special resolution at the Annual General Meeting on 20th January 2021.
