Join us for a live, interdisciplinary seminar where an employment lawyer, building surveyor and a chartered surveyor share their expert insights on managing the risks that come with running a charity building. If you're a charity manager or leader responsible for staff, volunteers, service users, or the public, this seminar is designed for you.

We'll explore:

• The top risks to your charity—reputational, financial, and legal
• Key issues like discrimination and health & safety regulations
• Common mistakes and how to avoid them
• Why charity buildings may pose unique challenges
• Essential questions trustees should ask and lessons they need to learn

This seminar offers practical guidance to help you protect your charity’s assets while creating a safe, inclusive space for all.

Chair:  Antonia Swinson (CEO, Ethical Property Foundation)

Speakers:

Carla Whalen, Employment lawyer, Russell-Cooke Solicitors

Simon Taylor, FRICS, Head of Property Advisory, Ethial Property Foundation

Richard Djan-Krofa, Associate Property Adviser, Ethical Property Foundation

Ben Jowitt Relationship Director, Charities Team CAF Bank

This is the fourth and final Charity Property Forum in 2024.  Over the year we have discussed hybrid working, exiting your building and most recently the 2022 Charities Act. This fourth seminar has been led by client questions and demand and we are looking forward to seeing you.  A delicious reception with good food and wine follows the seminar.

The Ethical Property Foundation is the only dedicated property advice charity serving the UK voluntary sector.
