Sandwell Council of Voluntary Organisations - SCVO. Supporting the Growth of Community Action in Sandwell.

For groups and organisations that are up-and-running or have been established for some time, there often comes a time when it’s right to revisit the governing documents or broader structure of the organisation to be assured that they are still fit for purpose.

There are a number of different developments that may lead to this conclusion, such as:

• the organisation taking on new responsibilities such as employing staff or entering into contracts

• the organisation wanting to have greater credibility and appeal in it’s fund-raising

• a sense that the governing documents are unwieldy, irrelevant, misunderstood or not being utilised properly by the management committee

• the organisation at a crossroads and looking at future options and activities, and considering the responsibilities and liabilities that may come as a result

SCVO offers in-depth information and support in these important areas of governance:-
