In this month’s blog, someone else’s blog. Like some kind of Russian doll of charity governance, I can do no better than share the summary of recent Charity Commission interventions written by my In The Round colleague Elliot Harris:
strategy and governance blog July 2026
I will add just two thoughts…
- Wilful ignorance is poor governance. Trustees must know what goes on in their charity, not to do everything but to ensure and oversee that everything is done.
- Engagement is essential. The Commission does not expect perfection but it does demand that trustees engage in their role, in their charity, and in their decision making.
There’s more – have a look at the resources on my website and Elliot’s, just follow the links. And if you have any questions then get in touch.
