| Within the Effective Organisations element of the Sporting Clubs and Sporting Winners programmes, a series of governance ‘expectations’ has been developed. This session is focussed on considering how a voluntary organisation can implement change to achieve the expectations and continue to improve its governance standards in line with recognised best practice for the community and voluntary sector.
