Charity, housing and social enterprise
Enriching community services
The third sector aspires to be well-respected, valued and publicly trusted, playing a fundamental role in addressing many of society’s unmet needs. Good governance is a key part of this: essential to ensure that boards preserve stakeholder confidence and assurance.
The recent publication of the new Charity Governance Code will bring greater attention to internal systems and processes, and put the spotlight on the importance of behaviours and culture in an organisation.
Voluntary organisations also have a new role in health and care in place, working in partnership with local government and the NHS as part of integrated care systems.
In the housing sector the Regulator of Social Housing is another key player, and many third sector organisations we work with provide care services and need to maintain their registration with the Care Quality Commission.
The third and housing sectors are key actors in the development of community assets that make concepts such as ‘place’ a reality.
GGI recognises the diversity of third sector organisations and provides specialist support, working with leaders and trustees in strengthening governance practice helping to assure financial sustainability, leadership development and succession planning.
