A constitution adopted on 13 May 2026, a committee accountable for the direction, oversight and operational management of the organisation, and financial governance that puts every pound raised back into the aim.
Overall leadership and strategic direction; 2026 roadmap; partnerships strategy.
Administration, records, communications; Expert Speaker Series; Mentorship Matching programme.
Financial management and reporting; mentorship operations. Appointed 13 April 2026 for an initial three-year term.
Drawn from Part Six of the constitution and reaffirmed at the initiation meeting on 13 April 2026.
All payments and bank instructions must be signed by at least two authorised committee members. The Community Current Account at Metro Bank operates with three named signatories (Chairperson, Secretary, Treasurer) and a strict any-two-of-three signing rule for every withdrawal, transfer, cheque, standing order, direct debit and electronic payment.
No committee member receives any payment or financial benefit from the organisation, other than reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the course of their duties.
The Treasurer, with the Secretary, keeps accurate financial records covering income, expenditure and assets.
Every pound raised by THI is used directly to further the aims — educational resources and technology, venue and events, expert speakers and mentors, and outreach to grow the community we exist to serve.
The committee may take out appropriate insurance to protect the organisation and its members.
Constitutional amendments and any dissolution can only be carried out at a formally convened meeting with at least 75% of those present and voting in favour. On dissolution any remaining assets pass to a properly constituted body with similar aims — never to private individuals or commercial organisations.
The constitution is the source of truth for how THI is structured, governed and operated. It covers identity, aims, programmes, governance, powers, finances, partnerships, amendments and dissolution.
Name, registered address, mission, vision, tagline, and the meaning of Hiram.

Committee structure, composition, current committee, and rules for membership, election, co-option and resignation.

Two-signatory rule, no personal benefit, accurate records, and how funds are used across resources, events, mentors and outreach.
Partnership principles, benefits to partners, and alignment with future workforce needs.
Any change requires a 75% vote at a formally convened meeting; on dissolution, assets pass to a body with similar aims.
