WHAT WE DO
Our Trustees are the people in charge of our charity. They play a vital role, volunteering their time and working together to make important decisions about the work we do.
The full Trustee board meet monthly. The Grants Sub-committee meets in advance of the main meeting to consider grant applications and make recommendations in relation to funding and policy. The Administration & Finance committee meets bi-monthly to discuss financial and general management issues for recommendation to the main board. Certain matters may be delegated to staff officers for approval, such as small grants.
The day-to-day management of the Charity is delegated to the Chief Executive Officer. There are 6 other members of the staff team including a Grants Officer (Welfare), an Education and Arts Grants Officer, a Finance Officer, a Communications Officer, an Admin Assistant and a Caretaker/Cleaner. Our CEO reports directly to the Chairperson of the Trustees. All staff, except the CEO, are employed on a part-time basis.
The future aims and key objectives for the Charity are to continue to make awards whilst monitoring capital assets and investment income levels and to improve the land for the benefit of the inhabitants of Chippenham.
