SCVO has launched its
Trustee Database on its
Governance Project Website. The
'Be A Trustee' channel of the website was made possible thanks to the kind generosity of
MacRoberts Solicitors, a firm which specialises in corporate and commercial law and offers advice on a wide range of legal areas, including charity law. The
‘Be a Trustee’ Channel is the place where you can find out everything you need to know about being a trustee of a charity or voluntary organisation.
E-Learning: SCVO runs a number of
programmes and courses through E-Learning and several are free to users of the SCVO website. Courses currently on offer cover
Branding,
Coaching,
Governance,
Project Management and
Web Accessibility.
