INTRODUCTION
HR and employment law support for charities.
We know that working in the charity sector has its own pressures and unique HR headaches from the employment status of volunteers to employment documents needed for charity commission compliance.
Reducing expenditure and grant funding limitations can mean that charities cut staff wages and reduce benefits when necessary.
Finally, we also understand the importance of reputation to charities and the critical need to protect that reputation from social media damage. Let us help you protect your charity and ensure its future viability.
