Code of Good Governance for smaller organisations launched

‘Good Governance – a code for the voluntary and community sector: 
smaller organisation version’ was launched during Trustees Week, to 
provides a framework for smaller organisations to govern in a way that 
is appropriate to their size.

This version of the code has been written to meet the needs of smaller 
organisations without staff. As organisations grow and take on staff or 
premises, additional considerations and rules come into play. Growth may 
also mean that more formal structures and practices become necessary. It 
builds on the success of the second edition of ‘Good Governance’ and is 
designed to be clearer and easier to use for those organisations with 
limited resources, while mirroring the principles of the main code. 
Supporting the smaller organisation code is a glossary to explain some 
of the more legalistic and technical jargon.

The code for smaller organisations and the jargon buster can be 
downloaded from www.goodgovernancecode.org.uk.
