The NFWI Training & Development Committee is delighted to offer some new training opportunities for WIs and WI members, in partnership with the Association of Charity Independent Examiners and the WI’s existing partner The Good Things Foundation.
You can hear a live talk on the subject of Charity Fraud and Independent Examination from the Association of Charity Independent Examiners – Thursday 8 December – 6.30-7.30pm.
