**Trustee recruitment and appointment**||| ||Constitution|| ||The initial Trustees were the individuals who signed the charity trustee
declaration forms that accompanied the application for incorporation of Pet
and Companion (PEACE). They are therefore deemed to have been
appointed by the members as charity trustees with effect from the date of
PEACE’s incorporation (20.09.2016).
The board may at any time appoint any person to be a charity trustee by
way of a resolution passed by majority vote at a board meeting. Allister
Crompton was appointed as such on 1st June 2018.|| |||| |**Objectives and activities**||| |**Charitable purposes**
