Aims
Participants will be given the opportunity to better understand their governing documents, what it requires the trustees to do, and any limitations imposed by it.
Content
The trainers will discuss the different types of clauses which are typically found in charity governing documents. After a short presentation on each type of clause, attendees will be given the opportunity to find and consider the clause in their own charity’s governing document and consider whether that particular clause is still fit for purpose or whether it should be updated.
Learning outcomes
By the end of the course participants will have learned/be able to:
- Have a better understanding of their charity’s governing document and any provisions which need to be reviewed or updated.
Who this course is for
