This hour long session will cover the new charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) guidelines and how they relate to trustees.

This event is free and for trustees.

This vital event brings together health professionals, policymakers, community leaders and lived experience voices for an honest, solutions-focused conversation about what needs to change to achieve better health outcomes for women in Manchester and beyond.

Through short talks, facilitated discussions and networking, we’ll explore the evidence on women’s health inequalities, share frontline insights and identify opportunities for collaboration. 

This online launch will mark the upcoming publication of How Will the Climate and Nature Crises Impact Women and Girls? – a major new briefing produced jointly by the WEN (Women’s Environmental Network) and NPC’s Everyone’s Environment programme. The session will introduce key findings from the report and explore what they mean for women’s and environmental organisations, funders, policymakers and practitioners across the UK.

Reserves are a critical element when building small charity resilience. However, they are often, for very valid reasons, miscalculated. 

This session will look at Why we hold reserves, how to calculate reserves, what a good reserves policy looks like and how to report on reserves.

This session is for anyone who is new to health and safety and looks at the basics of assessing risks, why we need to do this, and what to do once you’ve assessed the risk.

Are you about to review your equality and diversity policy? Or are you setting up a new organisation and want to follow best practice? This session will look at Equality, Diversion and Inclusion and how to apply them to your organisation.
