The Beacon Programme has finished.

About the Beacon Programme

Our Beacon Programme has finished, designed specifically to support Chairs and Vice Chairs of smaller charities and non-profit organisations (those with income under £1 million), it ended in September 2020. You can continue to access events and resources on this website by becoming a member of Association of Chairs.

We are very grateful to the National Lottery Community Fund whose funding made the Beacon Programme possible and meant Beacon participants could join free of charge. It allowed us to develop and run training events, webinars and guides, all tailored to the needs of smaller charities and non-profit organisations.

We have learnt a lot from smaller charity Chairs during the three-year programme and are using this learning in our ongoing work. All of the guides and tips from the Beacon Resource Bank remain available in the Members’ Area.

Become a member

Join Association of Chairs to continue accessing workshops and webinars, guides and resources, including the full Beacon Resource Bank.

Membership costs £55 per year (if your organisation’s income is under £5 million).
