Strong finances, strong futures

  • Five women sit around a table in a bright room, engaged in discussion. Papers and notebooks are in front of them. Sunlight streams through arched windows, creating a warm, collaborative atmosphere.

Robust financial management is the foundation of a thriving voluntary and community organisation. Whether you’re budgeting, forecasting or generating income, good financial practices build resilience, unlock opportunities and ensure long-term impact.

About the finance forum

Our forum brings together staff and volunteers interested in financial issues. It’s an informal space to share knowledge, strengthen skills and stay up to date with charity finance. Topics include: 

  • financial reporting and accounting 
  • auto-enrolment and charity insurance 
  • cyber security and risk management. 

Members benefit from peer support and can access one-to-one advice from our development officers. 

Further support

We can provide one-to-one support on governance, funding, policies, volunteer management and operational good practice.
