In today’s climate it’s more important than ever to invest in good governance and up to date training.  The Charity Commission want to see that good advice and training has been provided for the trustees and that you are well aware of and up to date with your responsibilities.

With thanks to The National Lottery, we have been awarded a grant to enable us to provide some FREE Refresher training to small charities with an annual income of under £150k; for those larger charities you are still welcome to attend but a small charge will be made.

Please register your place (Free & purchased) by clicking on the TICKETS button above.

The Refresher training session will be run by Andy Strajnic (Lead Trainer and Charity Specialist), who both has a strong charity background and comes equipped to take trustees through their legal accountabilities and answer any questions that they may have.

Training topics for the session include:

• Governance
• Managing Risk
• Roles & Responsibilities
• Effective Board Meetings
• Policies
• The Charity Commission

We offer 2 free places per small charity (those with less than £150,000 income p.a.), chargeable thereafter per delegate. There is no restriction for paid delegates.
