Working with and for young people in Cumbria

Cumbria Youth Alliance

Working with and for young people in Cumbria

The BASIS project’s purpose is to improve the support services for the full range of voluntary and community sector organisations supporting children and young people and rural communities throughout Cumbria.

The support services include areas around Governance, Business Planning and the achievement of relevant Quality Standards.

Brian Le Voi the CYA Basis Project Officer will be able to give Governance customised support on areas such as:-

Roles and responsibilities of trustees
Needs analysis and action planning
Financial planning and monitoring effectiveness
Trustee as the employer
What makes an effective board
Developing a trustee induction programme
Holding effective meetings and aiding decision making
Handling conflict within the organisation
Running effective meetings
Advice with being an employer and volunteer responsibilities
Help with Charity Commission and Company House returns

This support can be delivered as a workshop or in bite size chunks, perhaps before or after normal board meetings.

To help CYA members an information sheet will be enclosed with the monthly newsletter on issues related to Governance.

Please go to the files below to access the previous information sheets.

The Basis Project has been developed by a Partnership comprising ACT (Action with Communities in Cumbria) and Young Cumbria, thanks to funding from the Basis Big Lottery.

Advice and support is also available for Business Planning and Quality issues from one of the other partner organisations.
