Structure of HBB
HBB is a charity whose Trustees are legally responsible under the Charities Acts for all the organisation's activities. HBB is also incorporated as a limited company and must comply with the requirements of the Companies Acts. In this note Help Beyond Borders refers to HBB.
Governance
The Council and the Trustees
HBB's Trustees form Council, which is the governing body of HBB, and meets approximately five times a year. Trustees, who are all unpaid volunteers, are responsible in law for everything HBB does. These responsibilities include:
1. to approve strategy
2. to ensure that HBB abides by its charitable aims and constitution, and operates within the law;
3. to be ultimately accountable for the overall management of HBB;
4. to ensure that income and assets are used to help HBB's beneficiaries, and that its finances are properly and effectively managed and monitored;
5. to set policy and objectives, and to ensure the monitoring of their implementation and evaluation of the results;
6. to preserve HBB's good name and reputation.
There are between 10 and 15 members of Council. Trustees currently serve on Council for three years with the possibility of a second consecutive term of up to five years. This can be extended if a trustee is appointed Chair, Vice Chair, or Treasurer within their existing terms.
The Association
As a company, HBB has members. The membership is called Association.
The Association can have up to 32 members. It is made up of all the current Trustees, plus around 20 other members. The Association has powers to remove and replace Trustees in the event of a major failure or default on the part of Council.
Organisation and Management
The Chief Executive of HBB is responsible to Trustees for the management of HBB. Reporting to her are the six Directors of the HBB Divisions as follows.
The International Division is responsible for implementing emergency and development programmes
The Trading Division is responsible for making as much money as possible to overcome poverty and suffering by maximizing the value of the gifts of time, product and money that are given to HBB by its volunteers, donors and customers.
The Fundraising and Supporter Marketing Division is responsible for fundraising from individual and institutional donors together with communications work to raise supporters’ awareness of the issues that HBB faces in its work.
The Campaigns and Policy Division works with others to overcome poverty and suffering by promoting lasting change in policy, practice, ideas, beliefs and behaviour. The division has a strong focus on addressing gender inequality.
The Finance and Information Systems Division is responsible for organisation-wide finance and information systems matters, such as standards, systems and reporting.
The Corporate Human Resources (CHR) Division leads work in Human Resources teams in all Divisions on delivering HBB's HR strategies and organisational development. The division has specific responsibilities for employee relations, compensation and benefits, human resources management information, diversity, and corporate learning and development.
Staff and Volunteers
There are over 150 HBB volunteers in Nigeria, working in various roles throughout the organisation. Approximately 60 staff are employed by HBB in Nigeria, with around 27 staff based at HBB House in Benin City. There are no staff working outside Nigeria in the main time.
