Objectives and Activities
SORP reference Summary of the Para 1.17 At Enterprise Junction we specialise in purposes of the charity helping people with additional barriers as set out in its become self-employed or start a governing document business to transform their lives. Not only do we provide business support, but we help build the confidence and self-esteem of our clients which is essential for them to flourish. Our business coaches and mentors understand the barriers that our clients face and we use tried and tested techniques to help them overcome the many inner challenges they can come up against. We are aware that mainstream business support is either too expensive or not fit for purpose for our client group and so we work with selected organisations and partners to provide and facilitate the training and support required to help individuals empower their lives. We work through our partners to support offenders, exoffenders, long term unemployed and others who have experienced barriers to starting their own business. We also run enterprise programmes for young people, have a dedicated women’s business adviser and a unique management development programme for corporate clients. We also deliver self-esteem workshops where we empower participants from our courses and other underrepresented groups through self-esteem workshops. We equip them with the knowledge that ‘they are good enough’ and give them the platform to realise their

What happens if a disqualified
person becomes a trustee?
----- End of picture text -----
If a disqualified person is not able to act as a trustee their appointment will be ended. This is a legal requirement. When, and how, new trustees are appointed The trustees consider the best methods of attracting a diverse range of candidates with the skills the charity needs. This may include advertising in; Local or specialised press Social media Trustee recruitment websites People who already support the charity Local universities, colleges or their student union Trustee brokerage services Short-listing and interviews take place against the agreed criteria. Interviews are carried out by a small panel of trustees, and each candidate is asked similar questions to ensure a fair and objective approach. Notes are kept for each interview. Preferred candidates are identified and invited to join the trustees, subject to references, formal vetting and approval by the full trustee board. Unsuccessful candidates are notified and thanked for their interest. Vetting potential trustees The trustees check that the candidates have not been disqualified from acting as trustees, and candidates are asked to confirm in writing that this is the case. Candidates are asked to consider and declare any existing or potential conflicts of interest. If the charity works with children or adults at risk, the trustees seek any appropriate checks from the Disclosure and Barring Service. In the light of the checks and declarations, the trustees decide to go ahead and formalise the appointment of new trustees.
Making the appointment The trustees check that they appoint the new trustees in a proper and legal way, using this document as guidance. The Chair of the charity writes to the prospective trustees, setting out their duties and the charity’s expectations of them; they are asked to sign and return a copy of the letter. An information pack about the charity is sent to new trustees, and a full induction process arranged. New trustees meet existing trustees and others involved with the charity, such as members of staff, volunteers and beneficiaries. The new trustees attend their first board meeting and are duly welcomed. All relevant parties, such as funders and the charity’s solicitors and auditors, are notified of the new appointment
