Member Testimonials

I can't recommend Leading Governance highly enough. They delivered an excellent and informative session for our trustees, tailoring the material to the issues that mattered most to our charity. Our governance is now stronger than it's ever been!

Dr. Lindsay Cordery-Bruce, The Wallich

Working with Leading Governance was really easy. The process and communications were so clear, relevant and helpful, the insights and advice have strengthened our governance and helped set us on a path to continue improving.

Simon Gale, Justlife

The coaching sessions I had with Joy have been transformative for me, our board and CEO. Joy brings extensive knowledge around the parameters and functions of Charity Governance. As a result of our coaching, I am more confident in my role and decision making and have clarity around boards responsibilities. Highly recommend.

Sophie Gibson, Survivors' Network

We were facing a number of difficulties as a Board of Trustees, and so asked Joy to undertake a governance review for us. She was very easy to work with, quickly understood the issues and offered helpful challenge. Her recommendations were clear, practical and straight forward to implement. As a result of using Joy, we have a much stronger governance structure and resources in place and the Board feels in an entirely different place to when we approached her.

Naomi Sephton, Trustee, CARA (Centre for Action on Rape and Abuse)

15 years after our founding, we recognised the need to perform a review of our governance. Following a recommendation from ACEVO we engaged Leading Governance Ltd. Joy Allen worked with the leadership team and Board of Brain Tumour Research in a highly structured way, and has delivered a detailed report together with clear deliverables which we are now starting to act on. Her expertise and forthright challenge was just what we needed; it was a good project!

Dan Knowles, Brain Tumour Research

We were delighted with the professional support from Joy Allen. Her experience with a wide range of boards enabled a very useful blend of support and challenge to our top team. The output of a clear vision and values has been really useful to our company, and their application through the resulting performance management framework has added value in terms of business success

Howard Hastings, Hastings Hotels

Leading Governance reviewed our governance documents and provided governance training to our Board and Senior Leadership Team. The expertise and advice provided was extremely valuable and thorough and the training has given us much food for thought when it comes to improving our approach to governance. We would certainly be happy to work with Leading Governance again in future.

Laura Carter, Friends of the Earth

A few months ago I approached Joy about a Board Development Workshop for our Trustees. With lots of new people and changes on our Board, ambitious new strategy and new Chair we felt we needed a bit of a reset and clear understanding of Trusteeship in the 21st Century. Joy delivered this and so much more, her session was motivating, very knowledgeable and filled with practical examples.

Katie Antill, Alzheimer's and Dementia Support Services

Joy created a safe space and facilitated our thinking about our governance, to challenge ourselves in areas we wanted to do better and gave us practical ideas and advice to support changes that we wanted to make. Her passion, impressive knowledge and understanding of the topic alongside her no-nonsense approach is great at cutting through to what’s needed will be of benefit to any charity who really want to do good governance. Our Trustees really enjoyed working with her and learned a lot.

Teri Stephenson, Age UK Lancashire

CentreStage was delighted to work with Leading Governance in early 2022 as part of a governance review. I can wholeheartedly recommend both their work and their approach which was constructive and challenging, but always supportive in working through the various elements of governance. There is much to be said for the benefit of working with an external partner in such matters who can provide the vital element of perspective and talk through options which will work best for an organisation’s particular circumstances.

Eleanor McLaren, CentreStage
