The Guardian
The Guardian newspaper has a great Voluntary Sector online network which you can join for free. This will enable you to take part in online forums with national and international experts, contribute to discussions and benefit from the knowledge of others. The paper also publishes news from the sector.
If you are employing staff at a mid to high level then the Guardian is a good place to advertise charity jobs.
Visit SiteThird Sector – online magazine
The Third Sector website has a wealth of useful information for the charity sector; from advertising jobs in the sector to being a “go to” website for current news on the sector. It’s worth considering advertising here if you are looking to employ in the sector since many people subscribe to receive job updates.
Visit SiteThe Charity Commission
The Charity Commission is the independent regulator for charities in England and Wales. Its overall mission is to ensure that charities work effectively amongst society for the benefit of the public. Their website has recently moved to be hosted by government.
This is where you will go to set up a charity and there is also a wealth of information on organisational structures, regulation and guidance for trustees.
Visit SiteNational Council for Voluntary Organisations
The National Council for Voluntary Organisations has a huge bank of resources for the voluntary sector called KnowHow Nonprofit. Organisations with an income of less than £30,000 are currently eligible for free membership of NCVO which will enable you to use their video training and trustee recruitment services. Well worth joining up.
There is some training information available even without joining up at the KnowHow Nonprofit part of their site.
