Why Your Charity Team Needs This Training

Operating a not-for-profit in today’s environment requires more than good intentions. With growing public scrutiny, tighter funding streams, and increased demand for transparency and accountability, structured training is essential.

According to the Charity Commission, governance and financial mismanagement are among the top reasons for investigations in the UK charity sector.
Research from the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) highlights that charities with clear leadership and strong outreach perform significantly better in donor retention and staff engagement.

This course is designed to address:

• Lack of internal fundraising knowledge
• Inefficient document and data control
• Unclear or outdated financial reporting practices
• Weak project planning or delivery
• Cultural insensitivity or discriminatory practices
