Governance Support

Getting the foundations right so your group can operate safely, legally and with confidence.

Governance

If you have good governance in place, you never really have to worry about it

We can support you - whether setting up or fully operational - to have the right policies and procedures in place, or act as a critical friend to review your current processes. Our support includes:

  • Constitution and legal structure guidance
  • Trustee roles and responsibilities
  • Charity registration and compliance

  • Health and Safety
