The CFM Group will hold an online meeting on November 11 2020 to discuss managing pandemic response in charity workplaces. We will hear from charity FMs about how they have sought to manage safety and risk, and how they have prepared their offices and premises for a return to work.  

At the start of March, the number of COVID-19 cases in the UK was 36. On March 2nd, the Government held its first COBRA meeting about a potential pandemic.

The CFM Group and the Charities Safety Group have many interests in common, and we were pleased to attend a joint meeting which provided an opportunity for the two groups to learn more about each other.

Law firm Bates Wells Braithwaite (BWB) hosted a breakfast meeting for the CFM Group at their offices in Central London.

Good facilities management can make a significant contribution to a charity's operational effectiveness. But how do you know whether your FM is delivering what your stakeholders want?

Satisfaction surveys are a useful tool for measuring how well FM is delivering.

72 people were killed in the fire at Grenfell Tower in Notting Dale, West London, in the early hours of 14 June 2017. 

Our March 2016 will look at the issue of how to manage building maintenance.

We will have presentations from three speakers, looking at different aspects of maintenance for facilities managers, from day-to-day works to planned preventative maintenance.

The CFM Group has some 300 member organisations, but it is run on a voluntary basis with almost no resources. This event will review the options for the future structure of the Group. 

Facilities managers can go beyond the (very important) task of providing a safe, good quality working environment.

Charity facilities managers will consider "Facilities Management and Wellbeing" at their June 2017 meeting.
