Governance
As a Charitable Incorporated organisation we operate through a constitution (our governance document) using the foundation model. That is voting members are also the Trustees.
Governance details
Our board of trustees is made up of local residents and workers elected each year at our Annual General Meeting. Alongside elected trustees we also allocate places on the board to representatives nominated by Salford City Council and Salford University.
We operate as a Community Anchor Organisation, Community Alliance’s definition of a community anchor organisation:
Community anchors are independent community-led organisations. they are multi-purpose and provide holistic solutions to local problems and challenges, bringing out the best in people and agencies. they are there for the long term, not just the quick fix. Community anchors are often the driving force in community renewal.
The roles a community anchor organisation can play may include:
- Providing services
- Attracting resources
- Acting as an advocate for the community
- Supporting community organisations
- Strengthening community participation
