Coulter Community Trust is committed to The Scottish Governance Code for the Third Sector — a statement of best practice that sets out the five core principles of good governance for voluntary organisations in Scotland:
- Organisational purpose
- Leadership
- Board behaviour
- Control and risk management
- Effectiveness
As a two-tier Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO), our trustees are elected by our members and accountable to them. Our board of trustees manages and supervises the activities and finances of the charity, but our members have ultimate control. This accountability is more democratic and means that decisions made by our board are representative of community interests.
The core policies that guide us and define our culture are set out below.
