Governance

Governance is a term used to describe the trustees’ role in:
  • the long term direction of the charity, including its objectives or purposes
  • implementing policies and activities to achieve objectives
  • complying with legal requirements
  • accountability to those with an interest or 'stake' in the charity.
​
​Good governance should happen throughout a charity. The trustee board is responsible for good governance but they rely on many different people to be able to govern well: staff, volunteers, advisors and stakeholders. ​Below are some resources that may be of benefit to you.
