Event Details
ARVAC's Governance Pages (
www.governancepages.org.uk ) is now 3 years old. Funded by the Big Lottery Fund to draw on the various studies into governance and small organisations that took place at the turn of the century and to present the findings as straightforward information to those on the management committees of small voluntary organisations. The aim was to present complex information in a clear and accessible way in response to a need for those governing small organisations to have equal access to governance resources as those governing larger organisations.
~
To this end Governance Pages answers over 100 common questions, provides dozens of sample documents that can be downloaded and customised, as well as concise guides on topics from User Involvement to Recruitment. We intend to continue to build on this legacy and add further information and sample documents. We hope to launch some new areas of work in the near future, including a new section on governance stories - first hand accounts from committee members - and a new section on develop that will look at governance standards and options for development.

ARVAC
ARVAC, the Association for Research in the Voluntary and Community Sector, is a membership organisation which, since its establishment in 1978, has acted as a resource for people interested in research on or by community sector organisations. We believe that voluntary and community organisations play a vital role in creating and sustaining healthy communities and that research plays an essential role in increasing the effectiveness of those organisations involved in voluntary and community action.
As well as Governance Pages, ARVAC has run a series of conferences and seminars and produces occasional publications. We disseminate information through a quarterly on-line Bulletin; have developed a database of community research; and are currently redesigning our website to enable members to exchange information, experience and observations through a number of discussion forums.
PRESS RELEASE
9th June 2009
Governance clear and
open - lessons from the community!
The community sector may have some
lessons to share with national institutions on encouraging access to principles
of sound governance. The Association for Research in the Voluntary
and Community Sector (ARVAC) is celebrating the completion of its three year
Big Lottery Fund-funded project to meet the need for an on-line resource to
enable even small community organisations to have open access to the kinds of
reliable governance resources available to larger organisations.
ARVAC's
Governance Pages (www.governancepages.org.uk
) are now 3 years old. The Big Lottery Fund project brought together the
findings of a wide range of recent studies on governance for small
organisations. These have been used to
produce straightforward information for those on the management committees of
small voluntary organisations. Over three
years hundreds of community-based users of the pages helped add to and refine
the Governance Pages.
The Governance Pages answers over
100 common questions, provides dozens of sample documents that can be
downloaded and customised, as well as concise guides on topics from User
Involvement to Recruitment. We intend to
continue to build on this legacy by adding further information and sample
documents. We are planning new areas of
work in the near future, including a new section on governance stories - first
hand accounts from committee members - and on governance standards.
On 9th June 2009 the Association for
Research in the Voluntary and Community Sector (ARVAC) will host a celebratory
reception at the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund, chaired by Fiona Poland, ARVAC Chair, to celebrate this
achievement, hear from invited speakers about the impact of new legislation on
small organisations, and find out more about what the Governance Pages offer
for those with an interest in governance and small organisations.
- James
Sinclair Taylor (Partner, Russell-Cooke Partnership, law firm specialising in
charity) is the keynote speaker on what the new legislation means for running
community groups,
- Kevin
Nunan (ARVAC/ Governance Pages Editor) Introducing
the Governance Pages
- Karen
Heenan, (Chief Executive, Charity Trustee Networks) will discuss how this these
can help the work of community trustees.
This free event (but bookings needed
) will be held at the The Diana, Princess
of Wales Memorial Fund, County Hall, Westminster
Bridge Road, London,
from 3.00 to 5.00pm, with
a drinks reception. Further information and details of how to book are
