Governance
This just means the systems and processes Chippenham Collective has in place to ensure it keeps members safe, works within the law, takes notice of relevant guidance and is accountable for its actions to both the Charity Commission and its members.
Chippenham Collective meets its governance responsibilities in the following ways:
- Preparing timely annual returns for the Charity Commission.
- Holding regular trustee meetings and upholding the governing document (constitution).
- Holding annual general meetings for all interested members.
- Facilitating a co-production committee for interested members.
- Making its policies and procedures available to all interested parties.
Chippenham Collective is run by its members for its members
