Welcome to the Survey

The Charity Investment Governance Principles are intended to be used by trustees, staff and committee members to help to tackle challenges relating to investment governance. Following the format of the Charity Governance Code, the principles draw on the experiences of charities across England and Wales, reflecting the outcomes of the Butler-Sloss legal case and the Charity Commission’s updated CC14 guidance.

The Principles have so far been reviewed by over 60 charities, as well as charity lawyers, chartered accountants, investment managers and advisers, and other interested individuals and organisations.

The consultation is seeking responses from charities across England and Wales, and from those with an interest in charity investment governance. The consultation will close on Wednesday 7th August.

Any data shared with the wider project Steering Group will be anonymised and treated as confidential. Any data shared publicly will be anonymised and aggregated.
