Working Group Session: ESOG / ORA Preparation and Peer Support

This interactive working group brings together charity members currently working on their Own Risk Assessment (ORA) and considering their Effective System of Governance (ESOG). It’s a collaborative space to share progress, challenges, and insights with peers who are on the same journey.
Whether you’re just getting started or partway through your ORA, this session offers a chance to compare approaches, ask questions, and support one another with practical advice and real-world experiences. Come ready to contribute, learn, and leave with new ideas and renewed momentum.
Wednesday 19 November 2025
2.00pm - 4.00pm
Quarterly Members Meeting - Led by Pi Partnership Plus Case Study from Mencap and Action for Children (Moving DC Scheme to a Master Trust)
Online via Teams.
Agenda
Member Roundtable Discussion - The member roundtable session provides an open forum for members to raise concerns, ask questions, and seek advice from one another in a collaborative and supportive environment.
Looking Ahead for 2026 Our professional trustee partners, Pi Partnership, will share what’s on their radar for the year ahead - highlighting key trends and challenges including the Virgin Media case, inheritance tax, VAT and HMRC issues, and evolving TPR regulations. This will be an interactive session, offering great opportunities for charities to access expert knowledge, share insights, and explore the critical questions to be asking the charities' pension trustees—whether sole or part of a board. This session will be especially valuable for charity attendees looking to strengthen their governance, stay informed on regulatory changes, and gain practical guidance to help navigate the year ahead with confidence and clarity.
Case Study: Transitioning to a Master Trust – Insights from Mencap and Action for Children Join the Pensions Managers from Mencap and Action for Children as they share their recent experience of moving their Defined Contribution (DC) pension schemes to a Master Trust. In this session, they will walk through the key stages of the transition, the challenges encountered, and the lessons learned along the way. Gain valuable insights from their journey and practical advice for any organisation considering a similar move.
If you're considering becoming a member of the CPC, you can attend your first meeting for free to see how the club works, no obligation to join if it is not for you!
