Our main priority is to provide a suite of support for Trustees of local third sector services to share and develop good governance and financial management practices. This will position more third sector services and activities to make a sustainable contribution to wellbeing in the community
Good Governance
We can help with due diligence and organisational health checks: Develop appropriate policies, review governance and staff structures, training and implement best practice
Current context
Informal feedback suggests the need to promote trusteeship as a volunteering option – many people do not self-identify as being able to make a contribution, particularly those from less traditional backgrounds and population groups
Effective governance is a frequent feature when diagnosing concerns and developing solutions across the range of enquiries we receive
Trusteeship is becoming more complex, both due to the challenging operating environment in the picture of political and economic instability and uncertainty, and increasing legislative requirements
Funding pressures on local organisations whilst increasing demand on services, also necessitate new ways of working – such as commissioning, trading, collaboration and partnership
