AI Governance Toolkit · Built for UK charities

Govern AI in your charity with confidence.

A curated set of approval forms, policies and a risk register — designed with UK charity trustees, DPOs and safeguarding leads in mind.

Documents are delivered securely inside the app — no public file links.

What it is

A practical operating system for AI governance.

The AI Governance Toolkit is a small, opinionated set of templates and policies that help your charity approve, document and oversee AI — without slowing your team down.

Each document is plain-English, ICO-aligned and written for UK charity reality: limited capacity, mixed digital maturity, and high accountability to beneficiaries, donors and trustees.

Why it matters

Why UK charities need AI governance now.

AI is already in your inboxes, marketing tools and case-management systems. Good governance turns risk into responsible advantage.

GDPR & ICO alignment

Demonstrate lawful, transparent and accountable AI use of personal data — with a DPIA your DPO can sign off.

Safeguarding by design

Clear boundaries for AI in services involving children, at-risk adults and sensitive cases.

Trustee oversight

Approval forms and a live risk register give SLT and trustees the visibility they need.

Responsible AI adoption

Adopt AI confidently — with documented purpose, mitigations and review cycles for every use case.

What's included

Five documents. One coherent toolkit.

Everything you need to approve, document and review AI use across your charity.
