For many September through to April is AGM season, where charities bring their members together to sign off and vote on particular issues, usually accounts and the election of trustees. Often referred to as AGM season. 

But only charities that are membership organisations will need to have AGMs. 

Even then it is only necessary to hold an AGM if your organisation is set up formally to have “voting members.” Your charity’s governing document – constitution should tell you this. It should also tell you when in the year to hold the AGM and how much notice you need to give. The notice period is usually three or four weeks. 

Your charity’s members can attend AGMs and other general meetings. The governing document should define who the members are. Sometimes they have to apply to join the charity, or they may qualify for membership automatically because they live in the local area. Read on

Sobus is also offering discounted room hire for your AGM. Please contact carita.magnani@sobus.org.uk

Join us at our 3rd National Student Mental Health Event. This conference will bring together HE leaders, students, academic/policy researchers, health, social care and counselling services to develop responses to the student mental health crisis.

By attending this conference all delegates will receive 10 CPD points.

You will get to hear from some of the key industry stakeholders on how to assess the diverse impact(s) and disruption of lockdowns and COVID-19 measures on university students – transforming models of teaching, upending the structure and routines that students may rely on; bereaving young people who have lost family members or friends and forcing some into lockdown with people they don’t know – or worse, that pose a risk to them.

Places at this event are going quickly given the high demand. Why not book your place(s) or ask us to hold you ticket(s) while you await funding approval.
