Working collaboratively with a steering group of stakeholders the action plan will:
- Promote the value of archives and records to charitable organisations for institutional identity; good governance; supporting transparency and accountability; and enfranchising missing narratives.
- Encourage effective management and preservation of charity archives and records.
- Raise the profile of charitable collections as cultural and research assets with the public, academic community and archive sector; highlighting their value as sources of personal and collective memory.
- Raise awareness of the importance of archives and recordkeeping with charitable umbrella organisations and regulators, and advocate for the development of standards of recordkeeping for registered charities.
- Expand and develop effective networks and partnerships between archivists working with charity collections in the public, private and academic sectors.
- Improve the capacity of charity archivists and records managers, through better advocacy and professional training.
