Get practical advice, guidance and support to help your organisation run effectively and meet its legal responsibilities.

Whether you’re setting up, managing a board, or dealing with a specific issue, we’re here to help.

Governing document review and drafting

We can review or draft your governing document, including constitutions and articles of association, to make sure they reflect your organisation’s activities and meet legal requirements.

We’ll work with you to ensure your objects are clear, your governance arrangements are fit for purpose, and your document reflects how your organisation operates in practice.

Charity registration support (CCNI Helper Group)

As a recognised Charity Commission for Northern Ireland (CCNI) helper group, we can support you through the charity registration process.

We’ll guide you through the application, including developing your public benefit statement, and help you understand what’s required before you begin.

Training and development

We provide governance training to help boards understand their roles, strengthen decision-making and maintain good governance.

You can join scheduled sessions through our training calendar or arrange tailored training designed around your organisation’s needs, delivered at a time that suits you.

Our recent governance session was far more than just training. NICVA provided the deep, strategic insight we needed. As MSCNI transitions from a charity to a company limited by guarantee, this session helped us navigate complex governance challenges with clarity and confidence.
