Summary
What to consider when winding down a charity, from legal duties to preserving legacy and supporting people.Detailed description
Closing a charity is hard, both practically and emotionally. But it can be the right thing to do.
In this session, we’ll explore what trustees need to know when winding down a charity:
- What are the signs that your charity might need to close?
- Different options, including merger
- Legal and governance responsibilities
- Supporting staff, volunteers and stakeholders
- How to do justice to your charity’s story
- Legacy
You’ll hear honest reflections from those who’ve been through a charity closure, and leave better equipped to handle the process, if or when it’s needed.
This session is aimed at trustees who want to know more about charity closure, whether you are actively planning one or not.
About Eastside People
Eastside People is the new home for the Festival of Trusteeship and the revived event will form a central part of this year’s Trustees’ Week (from 3rd to 7th November 2025).
The Festival of Trusteeship is a week-long online series of events, full of exciting options for anyone who wants to become a trustee, for committed trustees who want to keep learning and developing, and for charity leaders who want to understand best practice in trustee recruitment and inclusive governance.
The festival will deliver a mix of informative and practical webinars and workshops, and lively panel discussions relating to good charity board governance with a focus on diversity and inclusion. All sessions for aspiring trustees are free.
We’re delighted to announce that the Institute of Leadership is sponsoring this year’s event. A professional membership body representing a global community of managers, leaders, and organisations continued learning is a key part of how they shape the future of leadership. We’re also very grateful to Ecclesiastical Insurance, the sponsors of the planned 2024 event. Additionally, we’re also extremely pleased to have the support of Stone King, a purpose-led law firm.
We are incredibly grateful to our headline sponsor Institute of Leadership, for all their support.
