Take your organisation’s pulse
Buddle’s free offer includes access to their health check tool. It’s been developed to help organisations to understand where they are at, provide a safe environment and meet their legal requirements. As a quick self-assessment tool, it provides a series of questions designed to help you understand your strengths and identify areas for development.
The questions help you to check your current processes across five key areas that connect to some of the support available on Buddle:
- Getting organised – governing and leading your organisationSafety, welfare and wellbeing – looking out for yourself and others
- Money matters – income, spending and funding
- Getting help from people – working with volunteers and the professional workforce
- Facilities and spaces – finding, using and developing suitable facilities and spaces
After completing the tool, you’ll get a report outlining your answers and directing you to further Buddle resources.
“Buddle’s health check tool can provide CIMSPA members and partners with a practical and accessible way to assess the health of their clubs, organisations and community activities.
By helping organisations to identify strengths, highlight areas for improvement and access tailored guidance and resources, the tool supports organisations in creating safer, more sustainable and more inclusive environments.”
