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.

Social enterprises are businesses driven by a social purpose. They:

income through trading
3. Reinvest or give away at least half our profits towards our social
purpose

about the impact they have
Often have an asset lock and use a range of different legal structures.

over 1 million people.
• Operate in almost every sector: from health and social care, to
renewable energy, transport, retail and housing
• There are many routes to becoming a social enterprise
including:
spinning out of parts of the public sector
entrepreneur-led organisations
charities becoming more business-orientated
7. What is Social Enterprise NOT?
• A fast and easy route to quick £ / silver bullet
• A change of legal structure
• Fundraising
• Suitable for ALL charities / charitable activities

9. Two main approaches
> Setting up a trading arm to sit alongside the
charity
> Changing the whole charity into a social
enterprise
10. What to consider?
> Know why are you doing it
> Discuss with your stakeholders
> Legal structure & business model
> Write the business plan
11. > Don’t be afraid of the ‘P’ word –
PROFIT!
> Remember the culture trumps
structure!
> Work out - who really are your
customers and how are you going to
reach them? Is there a market demand?
> Mix up your trading activity –
different products/services, customers &
types of income
> Don’t forget the expenses column
12. > Delivering new services – don’t
deviate from what you are good at!
> Get the pricing right (vs.
perceived value)!
> Measure your impact & quality –
creating social value
> It takes time and money to do –
NO shortcuts!
> Be persistent – not an easy
journey!
13.
14. Purpose of the business plan
To give you and other stakeholders
confidence that –
> You are going in the right direction
> There is a market need
> The finances add up
> You have the right people doing it
Otherwise it will not succeed!!
