Governance
Legal structure

- Registered in Northern Ireland on 23rd October 1995
- Company registration number: NI 030093
- Registered with HM Revenue & Customs for charitable tax purposes
Partnership approach
Frontline does not employ staff in India but works through a local partner - United Christian Church of India (UCCI).
The partnership began in the early 1980s and has flourished over the years due to a close working relationship based on trust, transparency and a common goal.
Frontline directors and supporters visit the work in Vijayawada regularly (at least 1 or 2 times a year).
The directors believe this partnership-based model provides the best return for the charity's investment and offers the best hope of long-term sustainability.
