All members are expected to report, every five years, against the federation Foundation Standard and its Expectations and submit a self-audit report which is followed by an Inspection, with outcomes reported to the Membership & Standards Committee of the federation. 

Age Concern North Tyneside was established in 1972 as a registered charity and became a Company Limited by Guarantee in 1987. It has a strong Board of 12 Trustees and 3 co-optees who meet bi-monthly and govern and manage the charity by dividing into three sub committees: Executive, Finance and Audit & Review.
