Charity Finance Group, supported by the Charity Commission, is working with other organisations to survey small charities to find out more about their financial capability needs, with a view to launching a training programme which is accessible and affordable to small charities to boost capability in this area. A strong knowledge of charity finance is vital for any charity’s long-term sustainability, and this survey will play a vital role in informing CFG’s work in developing a training programme which is accessible and useful for trustees and staff of small charities who are responsible for financial management. It therefore forms an integral part of CFG’s commitment to improving standards of financial management in the sector.
The survey is open to all trustees and staff responsible for any form of financial management in charities with an annual turnover of less than £1.5m. The closing date for the survey is Friday 18th January 2013. It should not take more than 5 minutes to complete, and respondents may remain anonymous if they wish.
All responses are greatly appreciated, many thanks for your time.
