Come find your inner finance director! In this session, we introduce the concepts and principles of organisational resilience and financial resilience. We will review the need to be clear about our purpose and value, intentional about and in control of our resources and joined up in our thinking about money and mission as a team.

We look at the role of finance in building a resilient charity and we review an example set of numbers to start to explore how to assess financial resilience.

We consider the we need to be asking as a non finance specialist when leading a financially resilient organisation.
