Governance

The Boaz Trust was formed in June 2004 and registered as a charity on 6 July 2005. You can find out more about our history here.

From 1st April 2026, Boaz Trust is transitioning to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), a change that strengthens our governance and provides greater legal protection as we continue to grow and develop our work. Our new charity number is 1208208. Everything that matters stays the same - our people, our services, our values, and our commitment to those we support. Our annual reports and financial records below reflect the full history of the charity and the journey that has brought us to this point. If you have any questions about this at all, please send an email to [email protected]

The organisation is governed by a Board of Trustees, elected to serve for a period of two years and they are responsible for the overall management of the charity. Trustees are chosen for their commitment to people seeking sanctuary, their support for the values and ethos of the organisation, and for their specific personal and / or professional experience and expertise. You can read about our current Board of Trustees here.

The Trustees meet quarterly, usually in person. In addition to this, focused sub groups (including housing and finance) meet before the full board. These smaller working groups focus on specific areas, allowing the board to focus on higher level strategic issues.

Every year, the trustees submit a report for the year and the annual accounts to the Charity Commission. You can access previous Annual Reports below.
