## **Structure, Governance & Management**
## **Description of the Charity's Trusts**
**Type of Governing Document:** Constitution
**How the Charity is Constituted:** Charitable Incorporated Organisation
**Trustee Selection Methods:** Through an advert and interview process; if and when a candidate demonstrates interest, the candidate will be provided with TBHT’s Trustee Handbook (which provides necessary and useful information regarding the application and induction process). The candidate will then attend (observing only) a quarterly Trustee Meeting to gain further understanding and insight into the Trusts’ objectives and activities. In addition, the candidate will be able to ascertain how the Trust (and Committee) operates on a day-to-day basis. The candidate will then be required to undertake a Trustee Skills Audit Form to aid the Committee in their decision to proceed with an application, this process aids to ensure an adequate skill mix exists within the Trust and Committee.
Once the candidate and Committee are both satisfied to proceed with the candidate’s application, respectively, references will be requested and confirmed and induction into TBHT will be undertaken accordingly (referring to our induction procedure and implementing relevant policies at all times). In addition, and where required (as per our DBS procedure), a DBS will be requested and confirmed via our local supporting voluntary sector organisation.
**How New Trustees are** Through the provision of mandatory training, the reading of **Inducted and Trained:** organisational policies and procedures, one-to-one training and shadowing of other Trustees, Volunteers and Staff Members.

## **Financial Review**
## **Brief Statement of the Charity's Policy on Reserves**
To ensure the Trust does not encounter future risk and/or insolvency, the Committee will agree annually on an amount for Reserves (it was agreed and documented by the Committee that our Reserve [for October 2020 – September 2021] would be set at £30,000 for the annum in view of the current and ongoing COVID-19 pandemic).
This amount will be reviewed on an ongoing basis (in view of the current and ongoing COVID-19 pandemic) to ensure proper and accurate assessment that considers the annual income relevant at that time.
The agreed amount (subject to change pending on service user requirement) will be decided during TBHT’s quarterly Trustee Meetings.
The agreed amount will be documented within the Meeting Minutes until further notice.
