This is a Risk Management Spreadsheet you can adapt to record and review the organisational risks faced by your charity.
The Charity Commission advises that charities should regularly review and assess the risks faced by their charity in all areas of its work and plan for the management of those risks.
Risk is an everyday part of charitable activity and managing it effectively is essential if the trustees are to achieve their key objectives and safeguard their charity’s funds and assets.
Charities need to:
- identify the major risks that apply to their charity
- make decisions about how to respond to the risks they face
- make an appropriate statement regarding risk management in their annual report
You may also find the following resources helpful:
- Charities and risk management – Charity Commission Guidance
- A toolkit for effective risk management – Kingston Smith
This spreadsheet is to record overall risks to your organisation and day to day service delivery. If you need a risk assessment template for different activities taking place in your community building, you can find this here.
