The Weave Together team brings significant experience in senior nonprofit leadership, governance, finance, policy, compliance and community-sector operations. We have worked alongside boards and committees facing real decisions about strategy, risk, legislation, funding, people and organisational sustainability, so we understand the weight of responsibility that governance roles can carry.
This support matters because strong boards do not just meet compliance requirements — they create clarity, stability and confidence for the whole organisation. We help boards strengthen their governance practice, ask better questions, understand their obligations and put practical structures in place so they can make sound decisions without becoming overwhelmed by complexity.
Strategic planning and organisational direction
A good strategic plan helps your organisation make decisions, focus energy and communicate clearly with funders, partners, staff, volunteers and your community. We can support your organisation to develop or refresh a strategic plan that is practical, usable and grounded in your context. This may include:
- board and staff planning workshops
- review of current direction and priorities
- stakeholder or community consultation
- development of strategic goals and actions
- annual planning and implementation planning
- support to turn strategy into practical next steps
This work is useful when your organisation needs to reset direction, prepare for growth, respond to change, or bring people together around shared priorities.
Governance support and board development
Small nonprofit boards carry significant responsibility, often with limited time and changing compliance requirements. We support boards and committees to strengthen governance practice, clarify roles, understand responsibilities and improve decision-making. This may include:
- governance reviews
- board planning sessions
- role clarity between board and management
- policy development and review
- support with meeting processes and board workplans
- governance training for new or developing boards
- support to respond to legislative and compliance changes
Our approach is practical and calm. We help boards understand what good governance looks like in a small organisation, without making it more complicated than it needs to be.
Policy and compliance support
Policies are only useful if they reflect how your organisation actually works and help people make good decisions. We can help you develop, review or update policies and procedures so they are clear, appropriate and aligned with your organisation’s responsibilities. This may include:
- governance policies
- operational policies
- privacy policies
- health and safety policies
- Cyber security and AI policies
- complaints and conflicts of interest policies
- delegations and financial controls
- policy review schedules
- support with Incorporated Societies Act and Charities Act requirements
We aim to make policies practical, readable and proportionate for small organisations.
