ABOUT US
Welcome to the website of Governance Matters, an independent
specialist consultancy service established primarily for the
voluntary, community and social economy sector in
Scotland.
Governance Matters is based in Fife and was established in
January 2007 by Caron Hughes after she recognised a growing
demand for a range of specialist services such as
legislative compliance (particularly in relation to the
Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005),
quality accreditation and good governance practices.
Existing services were at best limited and more often than
not, non existent.
Governance Matters exists to work with the voluntary,
community and social enterprise sectors to advance change,
support performance improvement, develop organisational
capacity and build for long term sustainability and
success.
Governance Matters is committed to promoting and supporting
good governance practice and quality standards which will
enable organisations to manage their affairs more
efficiently and professionally, which will result in
improved credibility with funders, the public and most
importantly client groups and/or potential clients.
