Each year the trustees meet to review the future strategy and direction of the
charity, to ensure that these are meeting both the needs of the community and our
charitable objectives. The transfer to a new charity is part of this strategy.
The constitution of the new Charitable Incorporated Organisation 'CIO' embraces a
significant membership to whom the trustees of the Charity are now responsible.
Trustees will continue to be appointed for four-year terms, but are now limited to
three consecutive terms, with one quarter of the trustees retiring annually. The
constitution of the new organisation is in line with Charity Commission best practice
and in terms of trustees balances both continuity of experience and refreshment
with new skills and perspectives. It also ensures greater transparency and
accountability in the governance of the charity in future.
Under the new constitution, any individual baptised into the Christadelphian
community and supporting the objects and values of the charity may become 3
member of the charity, on acceptance by the trustees of an membership form
detailing their relevant and necessary skills. Details of how to become a member
