COVID-19 digital checklist for charities offers guidance for trustees and leaders

Leadership is one of the key themes of the Code. This checklist will help to continue to encourage charity leaders and trustees to incorporate digital activity into strategy and governance.

The checklist breaks down into seven categories:

1.) Remote Working

2.) Services

3.) People

4.) Fundraising

5.) Governance

6.) Strategy

7.) Resources

Each of these categories contains a range of more specific guidance, covering everything from helping to support remote workers in managing their mental health to pivoting fundraising and service delivery towards digital strategies.

The great thing about this new checklist is that it’s accessible to everyone. It is a tool which can bring an understanding of digital to the entire Board, giving them everything they need to understand what they should be aiming to achieve and how to go about it.
