Structure, Governance and Management
Constitution
The charity was incorporated on 8[th] March 2024 and established under the constitution of a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). The only voting members are the trustees of the CIO.
Appointment of Trustees
The appointment of trustees is managed as required by the board and CEO who identify candidates who have an interest in supporting the CIO and have the skills to complement the existing board members or can fill any skills gaps on the board.
Objectives and Activities
Purpose
The charitable objectives of the CIO are the advancement of education and development of children and infants aged 0-5 who have special educational needs and / or disabilities, or are living in poverty by providing speech, language and communication support in the form of multisensory classes, led by a speech and language therapy team to develop their early communication skills.
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the trustees have given due consideration to the guidance published by the Charity Commission, ‘Public Benefit: running a charity (PB2)’.
Main Achievements of the CIO
In March 2024, Twinkleboost established itself as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. This has been a significant step and marks the beginning of a new era for the organisation, building on a decade of impactful community support as a Community Interest Company.
We have continued to support hundreds of families across the year focusing on equipping parents and carers with confidence and accessible strategies around their child’s speech, language and communication. We have continued to build relationships with community venues and referral partners across Manchester, ensuring families access bespoke, specialist support before, during and after Twinkleboost sessions.
We secured funding from The National Lottery Foundation (Reaching Communities Fund) and Children In Need which has boosted all aspects of our delivery and reach.
We have welcomed a new Board of Trustees and recruited a new Chief Executive Officer to build strong foundations around effective governance, financial resilience and organisational development.
