Charity Governance Seminar: Maximising Income and Financial Control. Saturday 27th April.

We will be holding a free Seminar in Dagenham aimed at Trustees in the Faith-based sector on Saturday 27th April 2019, commencing at 10am.

At this seminar, you will learn about the importance of maximising Gift Aid income through best practice and using the correct financial controls. Not knowing the complete picture leads to millions of pounds of unclaimed Gift Aid every year. Depending on your charity’s legal position, you may be able to claim retrospectively for Gift Aid tax relief, or at least ensure that your organisation will be able to maximise on income from donations in future.

This event is a MUST, if you are are leader of a faith-based organisation or involved in the Third Sector as a trustee, steward or financial administrator of a charitable trust. During this seminar, we will reveal knowledge built from over 50 years of experience serving ministries, churches and charities of the faith based community.

Strong financial controls are neccessary for ensuring a successful charitable trust. With good financial practice and controls in place, your charitable organisation will benefit greatly in the long run.

We are excited to bring a seminar to Dagenham and hope that you will benefit from our seminar content!
