Running your organisation effectively

Connected Voice Support and Development helps organisations to run successfully and make a positive difference in their communities. This training is for Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisations serving Newcastle and Gateshead.

This online session is for you if you want to be completely confident that your board or management committee is following charity legislation and rules, as well as following the rules of your own organisation. Do you feel entirely clear about your individual and collective responsibilities, and what might happen if things go wrong? 

It covers the essential elements of the roles and responsibilities of charity trustees, and community group management committee members.

Aimed at new management committee members and trustees, or those in need of a refresher.  This session is also open to staff members who support the work of their committee or board. This session covers:

• The legal responsibilities committee members and trustees have in governing, managing and running an organisation, and;
• Good governance practice and how committee members and trustees can reduce risks of problems in governing an organisation.
