Trustee Selection Method
There must be at least three charity trustees. If the number falls below this
minimum, the remaining trustee or trustees may act only to call a meeting of
the charity trustees, or appoint a new charity trustee. The maximum number of
charity trustees is nine. The charity trustees may not appoint any charity
trustee if as a result the number of charity trustees would exceed the
maximum. Apart from the first charity trustees (listed Table 1), every
trustee must be appointed by a resolution passed at a properly convened
meeting of the charity trustees. In selecting individuals for appointment as
charity trustees, the charity trustees must have regard to the skills,
knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO.
Fundraising
Smile From Hatti maintains a website and uses social media to raise awareness
of its activities. Periodic sports days, sponsored runs and other events,
cake sales and food festivals are held, and the charity provides t-shirts,
balloons and other merchandise in support of fundraising events. The website

Reserves
Smile from Hatti has a reserve of £20k to ensure the stability of the mission,
programs, employment, and ongoing operations of the organisation. The reserve
is intended to provide an internal source of funds for situations such as a
sudden increase in expenses, one-time unbudgeted expenses, unanticipated loss
in funding, or uninsured losses. The reserve may also be used for one-time,
non-recurring expenses that will build long-term capacity, such as staff
development, research and development, or investment in infrastructure.
Operating reserves are not intended to replace a permanent loss of funds or
eliminate an ongoing budget gap. It is the intention of Smile from Hatti for
reserves to be used and replenished within a reasonably short period of time.
The reserve can only be used after a vote has been cast by the Board of
Trustees. The reserve is held in the Smile from Hatti bank account.
