The course equips practitioners and those working in the charity, community and voluntary sector with the necessary knowledge and skills to maintain integrity and uphold standards. Members with an interest in the area of charity governance or those already working in the sector will gain insight from our faculty of solicitors, barristers, accountants, and other professionals with expertise in the field of charity law.

What our past students say

"This course was one of the most enjoyable courses I’ve ever done, it was so well organised and subject matter came alive with a variety of expert speakers. The mix of online and in-person lectures worked well, and the online learning platform allows you to watch lectures back in your own time and to revisit information again as needed. The course encourages networking and meeting other professionals, which was a valuable part of it. A key interest for me was the financial module, and, as a result of the course, I have a much clearer understanding of our responsibilities as a charity in relation to SORP and financial reporting. I would highly recommend it to any charity professional looking to upskill or refresh their knowledge in a range of areas relating to charity governance."
