As chair, building and maintaining a successful relationship with your chief executive is a key part of the role. But it’s not always a simple task. Each relationship is complex, dynamic and unique and it needs time, energy and effort to make it a success.

This interactive session will look at what is needed at key stages in the chair-chief executive relationship including appraising your chief executive. We will provide insight and tips on how to build a successful relationship with your chief executive as well as pointers for when things go wrong.

We will cover:

Do charity accounts feel like a mystery? This 75-minute session is designed to help trustees of small charities feel more confident reading and understanding their charity’s annual accounts. Whether you're new to trusteeship or simply want to demystify the numbers, this session will walk you through what to look for and why it matters.

In this webinar we will explore:

We know that the role of chair, although rewarding, can be challenging. Yet, many chairs tell us that they have little time to reflect on the nature of their role and how to be effective.

If you are new to chairing, this is a great introduction, providing you with an overview of the role of chair as well as practical guidance and tools to support you to be an effective chair.

We will cover:

Many charities continue to face challenges in recruiting and retaining trustees - particularly people who bring diverse perspectives, relevant skills and experience, and who are able to fully engage in the role. Recruitment and succession planning are not solely the responsibility of the chair; they are a collective responsibility of the whole Board.

This session will explore the role trustees can play in building a strong, inclusive and effective Board, from identifying gaps and reaching new networks through to welcoming, supporting and retaining trustees once appointed.

This webinar is for chairs who want to strengthen, refresh and future-proof their boards. While trustee recruitment is important, this session goes deeper - exploring how to deal with legacy boards, review performance, and ensure your charity’s governance stays fit for purpose. We’ll look at how to have those difficult conversations, plan for trustee and leadership succession, and share learning with others who’ve been there too.

 Learning outcomes

Organisations are increasingly trying to have an impact through changing systems, not just delivering services. But how do you go about evaluating that systems change?

In this session we (NPC) will cover topics including:

Did we make a difference? That’s what every charity wants to know. Answering this question can be tricky. It’s hard to collect reliable data about things that have changed. And even if you can, how do you know it was down to you? Would change have happened anyway? More and more charities therefore develop a measurement framework. Such a framework can guide you to measure impact in a structured and robust way. But how do you develop a good measurement framework?

This online webinar is for charities who want to develop or update their measurement framework.

Every story your charity tells shapes how people understand your work and the people behind it. Done well, storytelling can inspire action, build trust and strengthen your reputation. Done poorly, it can unintentionally reinforce stereotypes, undermine dignity, or damage relationships with the people you're trying to support.
