Governance for Charities – Reviewing your Procedures
Helping registered charities meet their governance obligations
All registered charities are now required to review their governance procedures every three years and, for many, this will need to be confirmed by October 2026 in their annual return.
Governance procedures can include your rules, practices, policies and decision-making processes. We can help you review these documents and practices so they are:
- legally up to date
- fit for purpose
- aligned with how your charity operates
- helping to protect your entity and its officers.
Our experienced team can assist all charitable trusts, incorporated societies, and companies that have charitable status. Whether you need a focused review or more detailed support, we can tailor our approach to your circumstances.
Get in touch or register for our upcoming webinar below.
