A SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR THE DOWNTURN - THE CHARITY
COMMISSION'S BIG BOARD TALK
The Charity Commission's publication on surviving
the recession focuses on strategy, financial health, governance and
making the best use of resources.
The Charity Commission has issued its Big Board Talk in
response to the economic downturn. This report is a useful
checklist of what trustees and senior management should be
discussing in order to equip their charities for survival in the
current recession.
A lot of the suggestions seem like common sense, and some of you
may feel that you have already dealt with all of the questions
raised. But how many of us never have time to get round to
housekeeping and strategic planning? All too often we find
ourselves firefighting when things go wrong; just the day-to-day
running of the charity takes up so much time that planning for the
future health of the organisation takes a back seat.
