Funding is vital, but governance is the bedrock that funding stands on.
Our recent Recovery Communities Research highlighted that funding is the number one issue facing the sector. However, many grassroots groups miss out on opportunities because they don’t yet have the formal policies funders require.
The Resource: Start Up Webinar: What policies do you need? Provided by Just Enterprise
This is an on-demand session, meaning you can watch it whenever fits your schedule. It is designed specifically for third-sector organisations to help you move from an informal group to a structured, resilient organisation.
What You Will Learn:
The Basics: Unpacking exactly what a policy is (and what it isn’t).
Accountability: Why policies are essential for transparency with your members and funders.
Risk Management: How to use procedures to limit risk—vital when working with vulnerable people in recovery settings.
Structure: How to plan and write your policies so they are clear and usable.
Why This Matters for Recovery: Policies are more than paperwork; they are a promise of safety to the people you support. Whether it’s volunteering protocols or safeguarding measures, having these in place demonstrates that your organisation is professional, safe, and ready for investment.
