Good governance is key to running an effective and sustainable organisation. The Charity Governance Code provides a framework to help charities improve leadership, accountability, and decision-making.
Are you using the Governance Code?
- Do your trustees refer to it in their decision-making?
- Have you considered how it could help strengthen your organisation?
If not, we encourage you to explore the Code and integrate its principles into your governance practices. It covers essential areas such as leadership, integrity, and board effectiveness, all designed to help charities operate more effectively.
