GOVERNANCE & TRANSPARENCY
Accountable by design.
Community-led in purpose.
GRILLE Community’s legal structure creates responsibilities. Our governance must turn those responsibilities into clear decisions, careful stewardship and visible community benefit.
HOW WE ARE STRUCTURED
Five directors.
Shared responsibility.
GRILLE Community uses a small-membership structure. Its five founding directors are also the five statutory members and guarantors. Each member has equal voting rights and guarantees £1 if the company is wound up while owing money.

OUR PRINCIPLES
How decisions should
be made.
Community benefit
Activities and resources must advance the community purposes for which the CIC was established.
Responsible stewardship
Financial decisions should be documented, proportionate and aligned with approved organisational priorities.
Open engagement
Community feedback and participation should inform programmes, priorities and the annual community interest report.
OUR COMMITMENTS
Transparency must be
demonstrated.
Annual accounts
Filed with Companies House in accordance with statutory requirements.
Annual CIC report
Explains community benefit, stakeholder engagement and relevant director or asset information.
Policies and procedures
Key governance policies will be published as they are formally approved by the Executive Committee.
Community voice
Feedback, concerns and suggestions can be submitted through the website and reviewed by authorised directors.
THE ASSET LOCK
Community assets remain
for community benefit.
Every CIC has a compulsory asset lock. This protects the company’s assets and surpluses from being used for private gain and requires them to support the community purpose, subject to the CIC rules.
