Trusted Charity
“Quality is not an act, it is a habit” – Aristotle
Trusted Charity is a process designed to help you run your organisation more effectively and efficiently. It sets out what you need to have in place to ensure sound governance practices, proper financial and risk management systems, and a reliable system for measuring outcomes.
Trusted Charity is an evidence-based self-assessment tool that once completed gives you the opportunity to apply for an independent external assessment and, if successful, get awarded the Trusted Charity quality mark.
The self-assessment enables your organisation to take a systematic look at what you do, identify areas where you are doing well and where you could do better. It helps you to plan, budget and allocate resources for making these improvements.
The Trusted Charity Mark is a nationally recognised award and is the only quality mark for charities designed by charities. No other quality mark addresses all the essential areas necessary for the effective management and governance of a charity. The Trusted Charity framework addresses governance, planning, leadership and management, user-centred service, managing people, learning and development, managing money, managing resources, external communications, working with others, and assessing outcomes and impact.
