Sector Support – Our Services

Governance

Having good governance systems in place will help you deliver your services more effectively. Board members and trustees should be aware of their responsibilities and good practice in relation to governance of a voluntary sector group, organisation or charity.

If you are a new or developing group and/or are looking to become established, we can provide advice about the different governance options. Please email groupdevelopment@seftoncvs.org.uk

Policy support & Model policies

We can provide support and have a set of model policy and procedure templates to help support voluntary, community and faith sector groups develop their own policies. You can view the templates below:
