Religious Organisations & Charities

Protect your mission by protecting your people. Charity and faith organisations must safeguard volunteers, staff and the public across varied activities. We provide proportionate, practical support to meet your duties.

How We Help

People, places and events change week to week. We make health and safety easy for staff and volunteers, with clear tasks and light-touch checks that protect people and reputation. You get straightforward documents, training that sticks and confidence across your venues.

Typical risk areas we help you manage:

  • Health and safety: risk assessments and inspections with clear responsibilities.
  • Fire risk management: competent assessments with prioritised actions.
  • Asbestos management: inspections and practical plans for mixed-age estates.
  • Environmental and water hygiene: sensible controls and records.
  • Business Continuity Planning: scaled to your activities and resources.
  • Training: for staff and volunteers, delivered on site, virtual or eLearning.

If your services or events exceed 200 attendees, Martyn’s Law may apply. We can help with awareness training and Security Risk Assessments.
