The Role of the Charity Secretary

Overview

Due to the current coronavirus pandemic, we have converted our classroom training courses into virtual training courses. Due to the regulations around social distancing, we have put all of our classroom training on hold until early 2021. Once these dates are open for booking you will find them listed below.  But for now, please visit our Virtual Classroom Training section and register for the virtual edition of The Role of the Charity Secretary  

Charity secretaries serve a critical role – but it is easy for newcomers to feel overwhelmed. Trustees. Regulators. Beneficiaries. Each generates their own needs and requirements.

But you are not alone. Kirsty Semple is a Chartered Secretary who has worked with charities for more than ten years. Start on the right foot (or refresh your knowledge) with this concise, practical course.

What you get

By the end of the day you will have:

• The confidence to undertake the core duties of the charity secretary
• Insight into the relationship with trustees, regulators and beneficiaries
• A concise overview of the Charities Act 2006, the Companies Act 2006 and the legal requirements of public benefit
• Advice on practical skills like meetings and decision making (see Full Programme)

You will also receive:

• A Delegate Pack containing notes and presentation slides
• A certificate to show you have attended the course
• 6 months complimentary professional subscription of the Chartered Governance Institute (see below)
• 6 hours credit towards your Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
