Additional governance issues

Trustees form a close group that meet at least 3 times a year and in addition communicate electronically.

The trustees contain members with a wide spread of experiences and expertise relevant to the aims of the charity.

Trustees take on formal roles such as chair, secretary and treasurer but also advise on issues relevant to their field of expertise. An example of this would be technical advice on solar energy relevant to solar lights or project management in relation to the charities work.

Partnerships

Switched On – Gambia also works with other charities when appropriate such as Book Aid International (https://bookaid.org/) who have worked closely as partners providing books and expertise to our project in The Gambia.).

Objects and activities

To relieve poverty in The Gambia and West Africa through facilitating the provision of solar energy to those in need.
