Introduction to Charity Closures 

The sector is facing greater challenge than ever before, and closures are on the increase. 
Interims for Impact has developed this training in response to the needs of Trustees and leaders who are facing closure. 
It is intended to give an overview of all the key factors you need to know, and to help you navigate this difficult time.
