Change of governance helped a major heritage charity

Every business decision or planned change had to be voted on and agreed to by the charity’s members, which greatly hampered the speed of change. Progress was further hindered where the membership would not agree to the charity’s preferences and plans.

Our charities team not only successfully advised the charity on the necessary changes to their governing documents, they also helped them manage the sensitive internal issues so that the charity’s members accepted and approved the change to everyone’s benefit.
