STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
GOVERNtNG DOCUMENT AND APPOtNTMENT OF TRUSTEBS
The Charity formed under a constitution dated 27th March 2006 adopted by the founding trustees. The Charity wa5
registered by the Charity Commissioners on 27th March 2006. Faith Life ChuTGb Cambridge 18 constituted under a Trust
Deed and Trustses are appointed in accordallce with that Deed. The Trustees keep under revi¢w the 8kill requirements of the
Charity. They ensure that in the event of a Trustee pern]anently retiring or additional Trustees are needed that potential
Trustees will be able to contributs towards achieving the Charity's objectives, Tb¢ ultimate decision on selection of a new
Tnjstse is a matter foT tho current Trustees.
THE CHAIIITY'S MAIN OBJECTIVES
To advance Christianity in Cambridgeshire and elsewhere, by any means or medium tbat is or may become available, i
accordance with the st&tement of doctrine set out ill the 5cbedule of the supplemental declarasion of trust dated 27th March
2006.
•To r¢lieve povety and those who are.in need-because of.5ickness or"age"or some other charitablv need.
•To advallce education both general and vocational for chilthen or adults, but always withill the principles of the Christian
Faith.
ORGANISATION
The C]writy is run by the Trustees who have regular meetings to consider direction and to address fLnancial management.
The day to day duties are carried out by the Senior Leader and the staff tsojn assisted by volLmteers from within the Charity.
The sgnior leader reports directly to the Trust¢es.
RISK MANAGEIWENT
The Trustees are pleased to be Ftble to report that in their view, there arc few areas of financial risk facing the Trust. Any
that may aris¢ ¢an, in their opinion, be adequately provided for by maintaining a strategic Teserve that would allow the Trust
to operate without intemiption for 3 months, on the basis of current expenditure patterns, even if income were to cease
entirely. Such an ev¢ntuality must be considered as an extreme scenario and in reality, even a significant reduction in income
would allow the Trnst to Continue for longer than dwt as it sought to evaluate the impact of the changed situation.
In additio￿ the Trustees havo carefully reviewed tbe Trusvs insurance needs and hav¢ put in place policies to cover public
liability, injury to church worlcers and loss or damage to and from various properties used by F&ith Life Church ID
