The TCCA aims to develop new projects and provide support to our community’s most deprived areas by working with government bodies and local NGOs, and by addressing local development needs.​​

We follow a comprehensive governance policy when making decisions and managing expenditures. The Board of Trustees shares responsibility for overseeing the organisation's operations and financial activities.​
​
​To maintain transparency, we undergo inspections by organisations such as the CQC, Your Value, Pre-viable, and Cache. We also comply with standards set by PQASSO, Investors in People, Investors in Communities, Locality, and Hackney Health. Alongside our main trustees’ meetings, we occasionally appoint sub-committees, which currently include Finance, Homecare, Property, Festival, and Staffing.
​
Our financial accounts are subject to comprehensive audits conducted by professional auditors, rather than to an Independent Evaluation. Click here to view our reports.
