Committee/trustee boards require a broad cross section of skills and abilities in order to effectively oversee and steer their organisations. It is therefore likely that from time to time expert advice and guidance will be required in specific areas to assist the committee to make informed and appropriate decisions. There are a number of FREE professional services available that can offer one off or time limited support in areas such as Human Resources, Marketing and legal issues. There are four organisations that could be of interest to your group; Business in the Community (BItC) for Pro Help, Lawworks, The Cranfield Trust and The Media Trust.
