Every organisation needs to have structures and systems or staff and clients would be confused and not know what to do. Here at Deaflink we have 3 teams who work together to make sure we are on the right track. The Board of Trustees, the Community Action Group and the Staff - see below for more information.
If you want more information about the legal status of Deaflink then either talk to the Manager or look on the internet for Charity Commission and/or Companies House.
So we set up a governance structure – a Board of Trustees (people who would oversee the management of the organisation); financial systems (what we do with money) and meeting our purpose (why are we doing this work).
To help the Board of Trustees make sure that we are working in the right direction and providing the services that the D/deaf community needs we have a Community Action Group (CAG). This is our team of volunteers.
To help make sure we’re all in the right place at the right time and we follow Charity and Company law we have a small team of paid staff.
