STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees sets our future aims and priorities focusing on strategic planning and governance and also evaluates our performance and progress in our work to alleviate poverty and suffering.

The Board of Trustees appraises the Senior Management Team and can make appointments to it as well as dismissals. The Board of Trustees also make sure that we satisfy the regulatory requirements on us as a charity and works with key stakeholders.

Recruiting and Appointing Trustees

Apart from the first charity Trustees, every trustee must be appointed for a term of three years by a resolution passed and convened meetings of charity trustees. In selecting individuals for appointment as charity trustees, the charity trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO. There must be at least three charity trustees. If the number falls below this minimum, the remaining trustee or trustees may act only to call a meeting of the charity trustees or appoint a new charity trustee. There is no maximum number of charity trustees that may be appointed to the CIO.

Organisational structure and decision making

Meetings of the Trustees at board level govern the organisation. Relevant matters are delegated to the CEO of the organisation who manages the day-to-day operation of the service. The board provides strategic support on matters relating to operational, finance, environment and social value in the interest of public benefit. The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Commission in determining the activities undertaken by the charity. In the interest of transparency, the Trustees make the following observations on the two key principles of public benefit.

All Trustees give their time freely and no Trustee remuneration was paid during the year. The Trustees met as a board four times during the financial year. Changes in the Board composition is set out above. The charity has a full range of policies and procedures. Each year the trustees review those policies which include:

Risk
Public benefit
Safeguarding
Health and safety
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
Financial controls and risks

Governing document

MO1 Youths refers to the charity incorporated organisation with a governing document known as CIO constitution by foundation originally incorporated on 31[st] August 2022.

Responsibilities of Trustees

The annual report and financial statements are prepared according to the relevant law and approved by the trustees.

The trustees keep adequate accounting records and they show and explain our transactions. The records also disclose our financial position with reasonable accuracy at any time and enable trustees to ensure that the financial statements comply with Charity Commission Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) 2015.

Grant Making Policies

We provide grants to projects if the request meets our charitable objectives and criteria. Project grant making is managed according to a designated process, which is documented in our Operational Risk-Management Framework. We aim to treat all grant applications professionally, equally and fairly. We make the final decision as to eligibility to receive a grant, at our discretion.

Public Benefit

We develop strategic plans to make certain that we provide maximum public benefit and achieve our strategic objectives, which fall under purposes defined by the Charity Act 2006.

Risk Management

The Trustees regularly review risks related to short- and longer-term organisation plans. The trustees are satisfied that the systems and procedures are in place to mitigate Mo1Youths exposure to major risks, which can be identified as follows:

Safeguarding
Recruitment of staff and volunteers
Funding and economic environment, securing vital funding from public and grant making bodies
Securing resources and retaining quality of delivery in growth to meet the needs of young people at risk in West London
