The directors of the company are known as members of the Management Committee.

All new staff, volunteers and Management Committee members must go through an induction process at the start of their work with the organisation. This process aims to familiarise them with the aims, objectives and structures of the organisation, as well as the policies and procedures which are likely to be of relevance to their work.

The main activity of the organisation is general advice and support for the Portuguese speaker community. Each area is managed by the Director, assisted by volunteers.

Objectives and Activities

LAGOINHA BAPTIST CHURCH’s aims and objectives are to provide services which will permit them to overcome social marginalisation and gain access to mainstream services, opportunities and entitlements in the UK, while maintaining their cultural identity within a globalised and multicultural society.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
