Legal structure
The Hwb Collective CIC is a Community Interest Company limited by shares, company number 16467677. It operates under an asset lock and must apply its surplus and assets principally for community benefit in line with its governing documents.
Board composition
The board consists of Grant Parry, Founding Director; Claudia Niamh Evan-Jones, Non-Executive Director and Deputy Safeguarding Lead; and Daniel Sitaranjan, Non-Executive Director. Public descriptions reflect confirmed operational responsibilities, while all directors retain shared legal duties.
Collective authority
Directors collectively manage the company. Role titles describe responsibility but do not create unequal legal authority. Board decisions and written resolutions must be recorded.
Reserved matters
Board approval is required for governance amendments, grants, employment, significant contracts or commitments, related-party transactions, bank changes and major strategic decisions. The approved manual sets the relevant thresholds and voting requirements.
Financial controls
Income and expenditure must further the company’s objects, be evidenced and traceable, and be capable of scrutiny. Conflicts must be declared. The manual includes payment thresholds, related-party controls, record retention and quarterly oversight.
Latest meeting record
The latest meeting was held and the planned business was reviewed. Daniel Sitaranjan was unable to attend. No other concerns or changes were raised. The meeting noted that, because of current commitments and limited director availability, the proposed number of in-person events must be reviewed before dates or delivery volumes are confirmed. Future plans should use a realistic mix of digital support, partner-supported activity and a smaller number of carefully scoped in-person sessions where capacity allows.
This is a public summary of the recorded outcome and does not replace the controlled internal minutes.
Policy review
Version 1 of the Governance and Policies Manual was approved on 14 February 2026 and is scheduled for review in February 2027. Amendments require unanimous director approval, a recorded minute, a new version number and an updated approval date.
