STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Organisational structure

During the latter stages ofCovid restrictions,theBoard started meeting every two months, with the Chair and the Chief ExecutiveOfficerhaving regular
contact with each other, as and when required. This arrangement has proved to work well and it continues currently.
The Board receives detailed reports on all aspects of the Organisation, including Financial information, from the Chief Executive.
The volunteers have a representative on the Committee; this post is currently vacant.
Dr Rosie Hamlin has agreed to join the Board. Rosie has been a trustee of Dial Doncaster many years ago in the charity's  pre incorporation days.
Mr John Burke, who used to work for DIAL until the funding for his post ceased, has also also agreed to join the Board.
Both these appointments will be ratified at the forthcoming AGM.
DIAL would welcome more Board Members , especially those with an interest in Fund Raising.
Unfortunately,lack of fundingmeans that the Chief Executivehas to undertakeall Financialand Administrationtasks,meaningthat his knowledge, skills
and expertise regarding the Welfare Benefits and Tribunals are now used mainly in an advisory capacity to the rest of the Team.
Day to day management of the charity is delegated to the Chief Executive and his senior management team.
Senior Managers of the company are:
The Chief Executive Officer
The Office Manager
The Senior Managers are responsible to the Trustees via bi-monthly meetings.
There are currently 9 paid staff and 40 volunteers.
