Behind the scenes

POP is a registered charity governed by the standards and regulations provided by the Charity Commission. The 4founder members are the registered trustees, and hold the roles of chairman, financial director, secretary and PR coordinator. These roles are rotated to ensure all of the trustees understand the organisation fully.

We are a true charity – run by people who want to give and expect nothing more than the knowledge that they have made a difference.

To ensure best practice and to deliver an excellent service to our members we:

• have weekly meetings, following a set agenda. Since we all earn our living outside POP, we can ensure that all of the money donated will go to a charitable cause.
• receive project reports on a monthly basis.
• monitor our bank account and how the funds are spent.
• take care of our financial management and ensure that all standard internal controls are maintained [link to Financial Management page].
• maintain our website.
• keep members informed regularly
• coordinate volunteers
