ABOUT SURETRUST

Where good governance meets meaningful purpose

SureTrust was founded on a simple belief — governance isn’t about ticking boxes; it’s about trust. When trust is strong, organisations thrive, boards lead confidently, and impact endures.

We help charities, foundations, and faith-based organisations strengthen how they are led, managed, and held accountable. Our work bridges the gap between regulation and reality — turning complex compliance into systems that actually work for people.

We understand the pressures trustees face: the need to be transparent, the fear of getting it wrong, the challenge of limited capacity. That’s why our approach is clear, proportionate, and built on partnership — giving boards the confidence to lead with integrity.
Our Ethos


• Independent and Practical: We do not function as a law firm or investment adviser; rather, our expertise lies in developing governance frameworks that are both operationally robust and effective for your organisation.

• Faith-Sensitive: Leveraging extensive knowledge of zakat, lillah, sadaqah, and waqf/endowments, we work closely with ulema advisors to ensure full compliance and an appropriately sensitive approach to faith-based considerations.

• Board-Focused, Management-Aware: Our services encompass comprehensive support including agenda preparation, detailed minute-taking, decision logs, and real-time risk registers that underpin accountable and actionable governance.

• Collaborative: We are committed to seamlessly integrating our processes with those of your auditors, legal counsel, fundraising professionals, and programme teams.

• Proportionate: Our controls are thoughtfully tailored to the size and risk profile of your organisation, effectively minimising unnecessary administrative demands.



Our Perspective

We’ve spent decades inside the sector — not just advising from the outside. We’ve built charities, led international programmes, faced regulators, and sat at the board table when the stakes were high. That experience shapes everything we do: practical, transparent, and firmly rooted in the realities of running a mission-driven organisation.


Our Promise

We promise providing practical, regulator-ready guidance in accordance with the Charity Commission’s standards and the Charity Governance Code.

Our Advice

Our advice is tailored to accommodate faith-based considerations where relevant, including zakat, lillah, sadaqah, waqf/endowment, and Ramadan campaigns.
