2. Look at the Big Picture

Trustees should consider the big picture, but they need to watch more than the big film on telly this year.

As with the Queen’s Speech an annual review is desirable. Then, with a clear strategic plan for 2017 you can avoid an annus horribilis, and look forward to a year of ensuring financial stability and instilling financial awareness amongst all stakeholders.

In this way, Trustees can concentrate on protecting the assets of the charity, with their ‘mince pies’ firmly focused on the future, as they work towards meeting long term goals, providing the motivation for enhancing services and improving the outcome of beneficiaries from the Charity’s work.
