Social Enterprise Training materials for Third Sector Voluntary and Community and Faith Sector board members

The following training resource was produced on behalf of the Small Business Service, Social Enterprise Unit to help people work more effectively as board members of social enterprises and voluntary organisations.

The materials were developed by the consultants Governance Works Ltd. with funding from the Office of the Third Sector. The initiative came about as a result of research that showed that many people sitting as board members in the not-for-profit sector had more experience of managing grant aid than earned income and would benefit from help in understanding the workings of the boards of trading organisations.
