Across the world, the charity and voluntary sectors are under huge pressure. With austerity measures squeezing, income inequality on the rise and the global economy shifting, non-profit organizations are being asked to do more with less.
As someone working in the charitable and non-profit sector, in addition to fighting for funds and resources, you are also striving to demonstrate your charitable impact and working hard to keep up with legal developments and stay ahead of the curve in the way that benefits your beneficiaries.
Charities need to be able to show robust governance. We work with many large charities to ensure that their trustees understand their responsibilities and meet the regulatory requirements.
