Charity Governance & Structure Service
We assist charities by prioritising integrity, accountability and resilience through effective governance structures and processes.
What You Need to Know
Ensuring effective governance and a well-defined structure are fundamental aspects of running a successful charitable organisation.
Our experienced charities and non-profit solicitors are here to provide expert guidance and legal support to help you establish strong governance practices and a clear organisational structure for your charity.
Why Governance Matters
Good governance is the cornerstone of a well-managed charity.
It involves the processes and structures that an organisation uses to direct and control its activities, making sure they align with its charitable objectives.
Here’s why governance matters:
1. Accountability: Strong governance ensures that your charity is accountable to its beneficiaries, donors, supporters and the public. It helps build trust and confidence in your organisation.
2. Transparency: Transparent governance practices demonstrate openness and honesty in your charity’s operations. This transparency is vital for maintaining your charity’s reputation.
3. Legal Compliance: Governance ensures that your charity complies with all relevant laws and regulations, reducing the risk of legal issues.
4. Efficiency: Well-defined governance structures and processes promote efficiency in decision-making, resource allocation and the achievement of your charitable objectives.
