Governance & assurance

Robust governance and assurance is essential for maintaining accountability, meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and ensuring effective leadership. Our services provide support across gvernance reviews, board and trustee development, and risk management to strengthen organisational oversight and decision-making.

Charities and social enterprises can encounter challenges such as unclear roles, outdated governance frameworks, or difficulties engaging boards and trustees effectively. Inadequate attention to compliance or risk can increase the likelihood of operational issues or reputational damage, while unclear assurance processes can undermine stakeholder confidence.

We work with organisations to build and maintain strong governance structures, tailored to your context. Our approach includes practical tools, documentation, and follow-up support to ensure new practices are embedded effectively.

If you are seeking to strengthen your organisation’s governance, update policies, or improve assurance practices, please get in touch. We offer an initial, confidential conversation to explore your needs and recommend next steps.
