There have been significant changes in governance practice in the 50 years since Concern Worldwide was established. We regularly review our arrangements to ensure we are fulfilling our commitment to best practice in our governance and transparency.
Constitution of Concern Worldwide
Concern’s governing body, the Board of Directors, recently reviewed its governance arrangements in light of evolving practice and the changes required under the Companies Act 2014.
Out of this process, a new governing document has developed which is called the Concern Worldwide Constitution. The latest version of this governing document was approved by the Members of Concern Worldwide at the AGM on 13 June, 2026.
The members form the general body that has responsibility for the Constitution of Concern Worldwide, the election of the Board of Directors and appointment of the auditors.
As well as its membership, and the Board, Concern has a senior management team. We are fully compliant with the Charities Governance Code.
Our updated constitution can be read below.
Committees within the Board
Members of the Board meet at least six times a year. It has five standing committees: Audit and Finance, Governance and Risk, Impact, Income and Safeguarding. Find out more about each of these committees in the documents below.
