FURTHER INFORMATION

NCVO’s trustee and governance team is dedicated to improving the effectiveness of voluntary sector organisations by strengthening their governing boards and enhancing the skills of trustees who sit on them:

 

• developing practical tools to enhance board performance, targeted at both the individual and the collective role of board members and boards
• promoting innovation and change to strengthen governance and leadership - board reviews, audits and change management
• cascading leading edge good practice in governance to national, regional and local partners to enhance the support available for trustees and boards
• advocating the benefits and value of trusteeship
• ensuring trustees and boards focus on the ‘bigger picture’, in order that the effectiveness of a trustee board in turn enhances the effectiveness of the organisation’s work
