Risk assessments — understanding your council’s responsibilities and how to manage risk proportionately
Working relationships — building effective partnerships with other councils, authorities, and community bodies
Grants, donations & Section 137 — making lawful, transparent funding decisions that benefit your community
Annual meetings — preparing for and running statutory meetings smoothly and compliantly
By the end of the session, you’ll feel more assured handling governance challenges, better equipped to advise members, and confident supporting strong, well-run councils.
