Description of the charity’s trusts

Constitution adopted 13[th] of August 2021 Type of governing document

(eg. trust deed, constitution) Charitable Incorporated Organisation How the charity is constituted (eg. trust, association, company)

The current trustees are responsible for the recruitment of new trustees, Trustee selection methods with a focus on incorporating the insights and recommendations of (eg. appointed by, elected by) religious scholars throughout the process. In identifying suitable candidates, we prioritize individuals who actively participate in the charity's events and functions and demonstrate a willingness to contribute to our broader community initiatives. Potential trustees are invited to attend trustee meetings as observers, where they are provided with detailed information about the charity’s mission, goals, and activities. This period of observation allows both the candidate and the existing trustees to evaluate suitability. If the existing trustees unanimously agree, the candidate is formally proposed for appointment at the next trustees’ meeting. This structured approach ensures a thorough assessment of the individual's eligibility, personal competence, and relevant skills or specialist knowledge, thereby strengthening the charity’s governance.
