The Carers Federation, a company limited by guarantee, was established in 1992 as a small local charity and has grown steadily to become an organisation which works throughout England.
We provide a diverse range of services that range in size and complexity and have a national reputation for the excellence of our work.
OUR STRATEGY
Strategies exist at several levels in the Carers Federation – ranging from the overall business (or group of businesses) through to individuals working in it.
We believe in offering services that are sensitive to the needs of individuals and communities. The philosophy of the organisation is to go the extra mile in all aspects of its operation, to treat people with dignity and respect, recognising that “People don’t fit in boxes.”
THE BOARD
The role of the Board is to:
- Determine strategy and priorities for the organisation
- Allocate resources
- Monitor performance
- Determine corrective action
- Re-evaluate strategy and reset priorities
The Board meet at least 10 times a year. These meetings are timed to allow the Board to monitor strategic performance on a quarterly basis, with sign-off of the Annual Accounts and Corporate Strategic Plan prior to the AGM.
The Board has the power to establish a series of sub committees to allow Board members to focus on key aspects of the Federation’s work in more details than would be possible at Board level. Current sub committees are:
- Finance
- Human Resources
