The new Charity Governance Code (2025) sets a refreshed benchmark for good governance across the charity sector. 

The Chartered Governance Institute UK & Ireland (CGIUKI) was a member of the Code’s voluntary steering group, we helped to ensure that it reflects the evolving needs and ambitions of charities today.

The new Code builds on the sector’s collective experience and learning, offering practical guidance to help trustees and boards deliver their charitable purposes with integrity, effectiveness, and transparency. The Institute believes that strong governance is fundamental to public trust and to the impact charities can achieve.

But we also know that Codes like this one can sometimes be daunting and difficult to navigate. That's why we have developed two new toolkits to help governance professionals and CoSecs better understand the Code: 

  • Toolkit for medium-sized charities
  • Toolkit for small and micro-sized charities

Read the Charity Governance Code (2025)

The Code is being released on Monday 3 November 2025 and will be available on this page on that day. Once it has been published we will make any necessary final changes to our toolkits and then make them available here too.
