Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What risks should trustees prioritise?
Trustees should focus on compliance with Charity Commission standards, data protection and safeguarding, financial oversight, and ensuring governance arrangements support well-informed decision-making.
2. Do you support small charities as well as larger non-profits?
Yes. Our services are tailored to each organisation’s size and resources, from small volunteer-led charities to larger non-profits with complex governance needs.
3. How do you adapt pricing for charities with limited budgets?
We tailor project and subscription pricing to reflect the realities of the non-profit sector. Costs are agreed in advance and based on outcomes, not time spent.
