Director Applications

Legal Responsibility

​

Wild Heritage Suffolk is a Community Interest Company limited by Guarantee and registered at Companies House.  Directors are therefore equally responsible for the good management of the finances and for the debts of the company to the value of the guarantee which in this case is £1 or more if a Director wishes to increase individual liability.  The accounts are kept by the company and prepared for filing to Companies House by our accountants.  The Directors are also responsible for filing form CIC34 which details the activities of the company over the year and ensures it is still meeting the Community Interest Test and the annual Confirmation Statement.

​

Duties

​

Business Meetings - Directors and other interested contributors meet regularly to review finances, policies and current and future development targets.  We currently meet monthly either in person or online.

​

General support - depending on availability, it is expected that Directors will support fundraising and other community events through sharing tasks and attending such events to promote Wild Heritage Suffolk.

​

Annual General Meeting - Wild Heritage Suffolk does not at present hold AGM’s but this may well change in future and all Directors are expected to attend such events when organised.

​

Oaks Meadow AGM - Our hosts, The Oaks Meadow Trust, do hold an AGM every November and as we have a close working relationship attendance by at least 2 Directors of WHS is expected.

​
