- Cost of Living
As part of Trustees Week, we were joined by two industry experts from OSCR and Johnston Carmichael. We discussed financial strategies and how to assess risk, and how you can work with your Trustees to take on some of the key and business-critical responsibilities.
Understanding the risks in order to mitigate and act, we will share regulatory insight and guidance for organisations and Trustees on managing the potential risks through the cost of living crisis.
