Governance

The BSTP's governing document is a legal document and works as a guideline, setting out:

the charitable purposes (‘objects’)
what it can do to carry out its purposes (‘powers’),
who runs it (‘trustees’) and who can be a member
how meetings will be held and trustees appointed
any rules about paying trustees, investments and holding land
whether the trustees can change the governing document, including its charitable objects (‘amendment provisions’)
how to close the charity (‘dissolution provisions’)
