The Charity
Commission has published a new guide to governance for
faith-based charities to help them establish strong trustee
bodies and good practice. The guide, Faith in Good Governance,
was launched to coincide with National Inter Faith Week (15-21
November 2009).
The publication
is aimed at the trustees, staff and volunteers of those
charities established with a religious purpose whose main focus
is religious worship and related activities. It brings together
into one document aspects of the legal and good practice
framework which are most likely to be of relevance to
faith-based charities. The guidance is aimed predominantly at
smaller or newer charities whose main focus is operating a place
of worship.
