Charity Governance Code Discussion Session 3

We are pleased to invite you to Session 3 of the VAI Charity Governance Code Discussion Group.

The discussion group is open to anyone who is interested in exploring good governance in a practical, supportive, and peer led way. You do not need to have attended the earlier sessions to take part.

In this next session, we will begin by briefly revisiting the first two pillars ( Foundation and Organisational purpose) we have discussed so far, before moving on to explore the third pillar ( leadership )  of the Charity Governance Code. 

This will help returning participants refresh the conversation and give new participants a helpful starting point.

We would be delighted to welcome both familiar and new faces in September as we continue creating a friendly space for shared learning and practical discussion.

To support the discussion, I have attached the resources we used . This may be useful for anyone who would like some background before the session, including those joining us for the first time or those who would like to revisit the earlier pillars.

This is your group, and I would really welcome your ideas about future sessions. If there are governance themes, challenges, or questions you would like us to explore, please do let me know.

Your input will help ensure the group continues to be practical, relevant, and useful for everyone involved.
