Trustee
We think three of the Charity Digital Code of Practice principles are particularly relevant to your role as a Trustee: Leadership, Strategy and Managing Risks and Ethics
Managing risk, developing strategy and ensuring that their charity meets the needs of its stakeholders is core to trustees’ work. Get advice and guidance about how the Code will help trustees do this even more effectively in the digital age and increase your charity’s impact.
1. Leadership
Digital should be part of every charity leader's skillset to help their organisation stay relevant, achieve its vision and increase its impact.
4. Strategy
Charities’ strategies should be ambitious about how they use digital to achieve their vision and mission.
This could mean investing money, but it definitely means thinking creatively about how digital can increase impact, reach and sustainability.
6. Managing Risks and Ethics
Charities need to determine and manage any risks involved in digital.
Charities will also need to consider how some digital issues fit with organisational values. They will need to plan how digital may impact all areas of their work.
