Get on Board - Governance Support Project

The Social Council is running a project to support local organisations with governance matters. The project is called Get on Board Kensington and Chelsea and it is run in partnership with Volunteer Centre Kensington and Chelsea. It offers:

Help with trustee recruitment

• Could your trustee board do with some new members?
• Perhaps some younger people with new ideas or professionals who bring in new skills?

Our project can help you recruit the right trustees to help steer your organisation into the future. We run regular trustee recruitment events where you can come along and meet with potential new trustees.

We can also assist you to prepare for trustee recruitment and induction and we run training for all new recruits to help ensure they fully understand their new roles and responsibilities as trustees.

In-house training, advice and facilitation

• Does your board need some refresher training on charity trustees or advice on a specific issue?
• Would they find it useful to have a facilitated session on strategic planning?

Whatever your in-house training and facilitation needs are, contact us for a chat and we will see how we can help you.

Trustee Network

We support trustees by providing seminars and a yearly trustee conference. These are a chance for trustees to meet, network, learn about and discuss issues to do with governance. Topics at previous seminars included employment good practice, managing your charities money, collaboration and dealing with change. We also provide email updates with useful information.

Information and resources

We provide regularly updated information and resources on our trustees and governance page.
