Governance Overview

Apex Care Foundation is committed to operating with the highest standards of governance, accountability and transparency. As a registered charitable organisation, we are entrusted with the responsibility to manage resources ethically, deliver on our mission and safeguard the wellbeing of those we serve.

Our governance framework provides the foundation for how we make decisions, measure impact and ensure that every aspect of our work aligns with our charitable objectives and legal obligations.

Our Structure

Apex Care Foundation is incorporated as a private company limited by guarantee and registered as a charity in the United Kingdom. We operate without share capital, and no profits are distributed for private benefit.

We are governed by a Board of Trustees who carry legal and strategic responsibility for the direction and oversight of the organisation. They are supported by operational leads and advisors, who help implement the day-to-day activities of the foundation.

Key Governance Functions

Our governance framework focuses on:

• Legal compliance – Ensuring we meet all regulatory and statutory obligations as set out by UK charity law and the Charity Commission

• Strategic direction – Setting long-term goals and priorities aligned with our mission and impact model

• Financial stewardship – Overseeing budgets, funding allocations and financial controls to ensure responsible use of resources

• Safeguarding – Maintaining robust policies and procedures to protect vulnerable people, staff and volunteers

• Risk management – Identifying, monitoring and mitigating organisational risks across all areas of activity

• Transparency and reporting – Producing regular updates, impact reports and financial statements for our supporters and regulatory bodies

Accountability and Integrity

We take our duty of care seriously. This means:

• Upholding the trust placed in us by donors, partners and the public

• Making decisions in the best interests of the communities we serve

• Managing conflicts of interest and upholding ethical boundaries

• Reviewing and improving our governance practices regularly

We also welcome feedback and scrutiny – from beneficiaries, supporters and external reviewers – as part of our commitment to continuous learning and transparency.
