Apart from the first charity trustees, every trustee must be appointed for a term of three years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees.

External risks relate largely to funding as a result of the economic climate resulting in difficulties in the charity supporting its projects. These risks are mitigated by looking at diversifying funding if possible to increase income and by keeping expenditure in check and ensuring sufficient reserves are maintained. Furthermore the charity will not commit to funding projects unless sufficient resources are in place .
