Good governance for clubs and committees
I regularly hear from volunteer committees facing the same challenges.
-
It's hard to attract new people to join the committee.
-
You spend months trying to figure out your role.
-
You struggle with succession planning.
-
You're not really sure whether you're meeting your compliance requirements.
I can help.
​
I've developed a practical, jargon free workshop that makes running your club simpler. It runs for around 2-3 hours (let's be honest, that's long enough to talk about governance!), and I can come to your club or deliver it online if it's hard to get everyone together in the same room.​

What I do
I regularly joke with people that 'no-one wants to think about governance until they need it'.
Governance doesn't have to be another administrative burden. It should be the foundation of your club or business that creates safety and stops people falling through the cracks. It really can help you be more efficient and effective.
​
Don't wait until something bad happens to review your systems and processes. There are many small and effective ways to improve, it doesn't have to be a chore.
