Structure. Governance and Management Governing Document Muslim Unity Centre is a charitable trust registered with the Charity Commission on 12 July 2023 under charity number 1203958. Organisational Structure The charity trustees are responsible for the general control and management of the charity. The trustees give their time freely and receive no remuneration or other financial benefit. The trustee5 meet at least twice a year and are responsible for all decisions regarding the charity's community facilities and artivities. Recruitment and appointment of trustees The existing trustees are responsible for appointing new trustees and will consider the views and recommendations of both the elders and community leaders. This approach ensures that the new trustees are respected members of the local community, fostering good relations with the people of the local community we serve. In selecting new trustees, we seek to identify people who regularly attend fundraising events and charitable activities organised by the charity and are willing to volunteer to help in our broader community work, especially for youth work. Potential trustees are invited to attend trustees, meetings as observers and are given more details of the charity's aim and objectives and, if all agree, they are then proposed as a new trustee at the subsequent trustee's meeting. This process allows due consideration of the person's eligibility, personal competence, specialist knowledge and skills. Induction and training of trustees Following the appointment, new trustees are introduced to their new role and given copies of the trust deed and a guide to the policies and procedures adopted by our charity. A number of publications from the Charity Commission are also provided, including the guidance on charities and public benefit. This ensures that new trustees know the scope of their responsibilities under the Charities Act. Initially, new trustees work with an existing trustee, assisting with particular attivitie5 and projects run by the charity. After satisfactory feedback from existing trustees, they are tasked with leading a particular activity or project, reporting progress at trustees, meetings. All trustees and members of the subcommittees will have access to a wide variety of training opportunities to equip them to fulfil the charity's aims and objectives. Risk Managernent The trustees have assessed the risks to the charity and review these risks regularly during the meetings held throughout the year. Risks are continually being identified and their impacts are assessed. It can be reported that, to date, the exercise of risk management has indicated minimal areas of concern, though
it is recognised that systems can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that all major risks have been adequately identified. Use of Volunteers Volunteer5 are an important resource in our community work. All volunteers also give up their time freely. We encourage all community members to be involved in voluntary activities and to share skills with each other. All volunteers working on projects involving children or other vulnerable groups are required to undergo Disclosure and Barring Service IDBSI checks.
