Management and Governance
In recent years the voluntary and charitable sector has needed to adopt new ways of working, in essence to become more business-like. Many charities are now Limited Companies as well, and need to comply with an ever-growing volume of increasingly more complex legislation as well as to comply with the requirements of the Charity Commission.

Directors and Trustees are responsible for taking the lead in their organisation and for providing the direction for future development. Many are unaware of their true level of responsibility and some find they have much to learn about the governance of their organisation. Whether you are looking for information on your legal obligations, help with strategic planning or guidance on a specific part of governance a half-day or evening workshop can be customised to meet your

Leadership
It can, and has been, said that the commercial sector has managers, but the Third Sector needs 'leaders'. Managing a group of volunteers needs very different skills because each volunteer has their own reasons for helping the charity and may leave the moment they do not agree with the ethos and direction the organisation is taking. However, volunteers are the biggest asset that many community groups possess.
Employing excellent leadership skills, good communication and a charismatic style can make all the difference to recruiting, retention and, above all, getting the job done. Whether you have a new team or new in post and need to understand the difference between management and leadership, or you are looking for new perspectives and ideas, a tailor-made course exploring your needs can help with move forward with confidence.
