Charity Governance Certificate: Virtual toolkit

£249.00 + VAT

Good governance in voluntary sectors directly leads to success – whilst ensuring that it is not only compliant with regulations and charity commission code, it’s also a guide to meeting the goals and vision of the charity.

However, governance for voluntary organisations can be tricky to get right: are you covering all your bases?

The Charity Governance  Certificate is a virtual toolkit designed to explore best practice for effectively leading a charity, looking at how to overcome challenges and drive a sustainable future.

The charity training will also look at how you can develop and improve your charity governance practices as you grow and reach your goals, such as reviewing and amending governance documents, handling disputes and how to amend governing documents in line with charity law.

The fully online course will provide a comprehensive review of governance, incorporating all elements laid out by the charity code, but also using expert advice from our trainer on how to practically implement this into your charity.

How does it work?

The fully online course is delivered via our specialist learning platform – each module will consist of training videos, written materials, downloadable templates, examples and tools, and a test at the end to check your learning.
