Small Charities Coalition (SCC) will soon deliver training sessions on charity management in multiple community languages. The new project, My UK Charity, is aimed at breaking down inequality in the delivery and design of infrastructure support which disadvantages those who either do not speak English, or in some cases for those for whom English is an additional language. Each session will provide an overview of the requirements of good governance, how to manage people and finances and how to fundraise. The sessions are free. Find out more.
