Charities today face mounting financial pressures and difficult strategic choices - and trustees need to be at the heart of navigating them.
Join us for a candid fireside chat with Parish Giving Scheme’s (PGS) Grant Forrest, who will share his organisation's real-life journey through strategic change - from building a clear strategy and securing trustee buy-in, to recognising when a merger is the right move to protect charitable impact.
VWV's Laura Chesham was able to support PGS throughout this journey, advising on governance, trustee decision-making and the legal considerations involved in exploring a merger and will raise questions on:
How charity leaders and trustees can develop a clear, realistic strategy that balances ambition and long-term sustainability
How boards can assess financial viability and consider strategic options for the future
Practical lessons from PGS’s turnaround and merger journey, including securing trustee ownership, navigating difficult decisions and leading significant organisational change
Who should attend this training?
This session will be particularly interesting for:
Charity trustees and board members
Chief executives and senior charity leaders
Those involved in charity strategy, governance, finance or organisational development
Anyone interested in understanding how charities can respond effectively to financial pressures and strategic challenges.
