SecEon B: Structure Governance and Management
The Worshipful Company of Firefighters Charitable Trust is a Charitable Incorporated OrganisaSon (CIO) whose only voSng members are its Charity Trustees. The charity has the “FoundaSon” model consStuSon. New Trustees are recommended by the Board of Trustees to The Worshipful Company of Firefighters Court of Assistants for approval, in accordance with the ConsStuSon. Three Trustees reSre at the end of their terms of office and may stand for re-elecSon for a further term of three years, aber which they must reSre for a minimum period of one year before being eligible to stand for re-elecSon.
Trustees normally meet at least four Smes a year and all decisions pertaining to the governance and management of the Charity are taken at those meeSngs. The preference of Trustees is to meet in person but due to a number of health and travel related issues during the year some meeSngs were held on line. In view of the small size of the Charity, the Trustees have chosen not to delegate any of their powers to sub-commi[ees although
1
certain individuals act as liaison officers for the Charity. The Charity does not employ any staff.
AdministraSve support to the charity has tradiSonally been provided by the Clerk of the Worshipful Company of Firefighters for which a charge was made in accordance with the Terms of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Trust and The Worshipful Company of Firefighters. Due to changes in working pracSces this arrangement is under review.
