Gold standard transparency for charitiesKarl Wilding
What might practical transparency for charities look like if we are going to be the 'gold standard? In other words, better at transparency than the public sector or business? And what do we mean by the gold standard? This is meant to kick off a debate.

Some thoughts on how charity trustees should respond to the the digital agenda: how the external environment is driving change in charities, how we need our organisations to respond, and how we as trustees and leaders need to model change and maybe behave differently.

A panel discussion considering what the future hold for charities and their governance, and how trustees can support their charities to survive and thrive.
Here we share our progress on updating the Charity Governance Code. Hear from the Code steering group about changes that are being made to the Diversity and Integrity principles following its refresh.
The panel will share some of the proposed changes to the Integrity principle, offering a preview of the updates. They will also reflect on findings from engagement and the extended consultation on enhancements to the Diversity principle. This will be an opportunity for the steering group to share their learning, having listened to a range of experiences. It is also an opportunity to discuss best practice which has been identified through the revision work. Finally, the group will offer an update on next steps on the Code's revision.
We’ve put together this video guide to using the governance wheel to carry out a board effectiveness review. It will be most useful for trustees or staff who are undertaking a board review for their own charity and want to know how best to use the governance wheel to support them in this.
As the charity sector continues to manage the impact of the pandemic, many charities are facing financial uncertainty. In this context many senior leaders, to ensure their charity’s sustainability, will be considering collaboration and merger. In this webinar, in association with Bates Wells, we aim to answer questions such as: When should a charity in crisis consider merging? What are the alternatives? How can you make the best decision for your organisation? You will also hear about a new online decision-making tool which will help organisations chart the options open to them in a tight financial spot.
Normal working practices have changed dramatically in a very short period. Most staff are still working remotely, and many organisations have made use of the furlough scheme. This has meant organisations are having to manage and support staff remotely; review some existing policies to ensure they are still fit for purpose; and manage with a reduced and rotating staff capacity. In partnership with our Trusted Supplier Croner, in this webinar we will be sharing good practice on managing and supporting staff in this new environment. We will be joined by Vicky Scott, Operations and HR Manager at Hackney CVS who will share the experiences and learnings of Hackney CVS in this new context.
The economic impact of coronavirus means that many voluntary sector organisations will be going through a period of significant change over the coming months. For many of the hardest hit charities, the process of restructuring and making redundancies will sadly be inevitable. In this webinar we help organisations prepare for this context.
Entering a new phase of the Covid-19 pandemic, with the option of returning to your workplace, has legal and practical implications for all charities. Employers need to be clear about what they are required to do to ensure the health and safety of their staff and volunteers. Employers are having to consider questions such as: what reasonable adjustments should employers make for their workforce in returning to a ‘new normal?’ How can we prepare for what lies ahead? In partnership with TrustLaw, in this webinar we aim to answer these questions. We will be joined by Sarah Valentine, Senior Associate at Eversheds Sutherland and Andrew New, Head of Education at St John Ambulance.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

10. WHO ARE THE TRUSTEES?
The persons having the general control
and management of the administration
of a charity.
Section 177 of the Charities Act 2011
11. • Voting members of the governing body
• Ultimate legal responsibility for the charity
• A collective group of decision makers
• Elected or appointed in accordance with the charity’s governing
document
• Operate within a formal set of rules
• In a charitable company, company directors and trustees are
the same people
• Trustees often delegate day to day tasks to staff and/or
volunteers
• Almost always unpaid
WHO ARE TRUSTEES?
12. WHAT DOES THE TERM CHARITY MEAN?
12
• To be a charity an organisation must be set up with
purposes which are exclusively charitable
• What constitutes a charitable purpose is defined in the
Charities Act 2011
• In order to be a charity your purposes must meet the
“public benefit requirement”
• We prove this by requiring charities to report annually to
the regulator on how they have deliver their purpose
• This is all about trust and confidence

TRUSTEE LIABILITY – PROTECTION!
20. CHARITY COMMISSION’S VIEW
20
The Charity Commission expects trustees to take their
responsibilities seriously... The Commission recognises that
most trustees are volunteers who sometimes make honest
mistakes. Trustees are not expected to be perfect – they are
expected to do their best to comply with their duties. Charity
law generally protects trustees who have acted honestly and
reasonably.

you need to know, what you need to do
22. SIX KEY PRINCIPLES OF GOOD
GOVERNANCE
An effective board will provide good governance and leadership by:
• understanding their role
• ensuring delivery of organisational purpose
• working effectively both as individuals and as a team
• exercising effective control
• behaving with integrity
• being open and accountable.
