Structure governance and management
Governing Document	Memorandum and Articles o f association adopted 25th August 1983
How the charity is constituted	The Fourth Dimension Trust is a Company limited by guarantee. It
	is also registered with the Charity Commission as a Charity.
	Membership of the Fourth Dimension Trust is drawn from twelve
	churches serving Huyton, a district of the Borough of Knowsley in
	Merseyside.
Trustee selection and Trust management	Our member churches may nominate annually up to two
	representatives to serve on our Council of Management. Up to four
	additional Members of Council may be elected by Trust members at
	ourAnnual General Meeting. Our current practice is that each
	member of o u r Council of Management is normally registered both
	as a Charity Trustee and a Company Director. The Council of
	Management normally meets six to eight times per year to
	administer the day−to−day activities of the Trust.
Consideration o f major risks	Matters relating t o Health and Safety Issues, Fire Service
	requirements, Trading Standards' regulations and other risks
	related to our principal activities are undergoing review−both
	internally and with outside advisors.

Objects as s e t o u t in the governing document	"By such means as are charitable to promote in an ecumenical spirit
	the Christian faith in England and overseas and in particular the
	relief of poverty, distress and sickness.
	Our aid shall be directed first to the developing countries and the
	third world, secondly t o the Huyton and Merseyside area and
	subsequently to any area of special need."
Main activities in relation to these objectives	Our funds are raised almost entirely through the sale of goods and
	refreshments a t our Charity Shop located in Huyton village.
	All who work in o u r shop are members o f o u r Trust giving their
	time as volunteers.
	The principal donation w e make each year goes via Christian Aid
	towards water projects in Africa. Smaller donations are made to a
	range of local charities as nominated byo u rvolunteerss who work
	in the shop.
