Product Description
Many of those working in the voluntary sector have management experience, but little of working for a charity while others have experience of the sector, but no management experience. This practical work aims to bridge these knowledge gaps, serving as a handbook on day-to-day management in the voluntary sector. It features activity boxes designed to make the reader think about real-life situations that frequently arise, with case studies and a free CD-ROM containing templates and documents. Topics addressed include: the importance of having a realistic vision; organizational and management structures of charities; human resource issues; accounting; marketing; how to make use of the Internet; and how to deal with the prospect of mergers and takeovers.

Comprehensive overview of an enormous sector
This book is the first comprehensive guide to the UK voluntary sector I have seen that does not either come from a specific point of view, e.g. strategy or information technology, or has too much detail to help an initiate to the sector, e.g. Charities Handbook.
It is an excellent gift for CEOs of medium-sized charities or their trustees.
