Stone King launches Annual Charity Chair Survey in partnership with Bayes Business School
Almshouse Association panel consultant, Stone King Legal Services, has launched a new partnership with the Centre for Charity Effectiveness at Bayes Business School to deliver the first Stone King Annual Charity Chair Survey.
This year’s survey explores the theme: “Governance under pressure: how Chairs are leading through political, regulatory and financial complexity and uncertainty.”
The survey is open to current Chairs, Co-Chairs, Vice-Chairs and Deputy Chairs of charities in England and Wales, as well as those who have held these roles within the last 12 months. This includes exempt and excepted charities, as well as those registered with the Charity Commission.
Stone King would be very pleased to encourage participation from members of The Almshouse Association, particularly those involved in governance and leadership of almshouse charities.
Input from this sector will help ensure that almshouses are well represented within the findings and broader sector analysis.
In addition to the survey, a series of discussion groups will take place in September, offering participants an opportunity to contribute more in-depth reflections on the challenges facing charity chairs. Those interested can register their interest via the Stone King website.
The findings from the survey will be published in the Autumn and are intended to provide practical guidance and sector-specific insights to help strengthen governance and leadership across the charity sector during a period of significant change and uncertainty.
The survey closes on Sunday 26 July.
