The aim of this guide is to share information, tools and tips that might help small and diaspora organisations strengthen the governance of their organisation. It provides a toolkit that starts by highlighting the benefits of effective governance, then looks at four key themes: 1) Understanding governance; 2) Key sector references, in the UK voluntary sector, regarding legal obligations, guiding principles, and standards; 3) Managing the board; and 4) The ‘relational’ dynamics - dealing with the human dimension of governance. The toolkit then provides some practical tips, based on key lessons learnt by small and diaspora NGOs
