Trusteeship and governance
We believe the quality of trustees can make or break a charity or funder. Being a good trustee is not just about finance and risk, but grasping opportunities and maximising social impact. Through our resources, training and consulting, we help trustees to stay focussed on the purpose of governance, get the most from fellow trustees and adopt best practices and processes.
