Trustees’ Week is Monday 7th – Sunday 13th November 2016
This year the focus is on Leadership Development.
A coalition of charities, regulators and professional bodies has announced details of this year’s Trustees’ Week which will take place from Monday 7th to Sunday 13th November 2016. A series of events, resources and information will be made available to the public on the theme of good leadership and effective chairing of charity trustee boards
Stronger charities through good leadership – Trustees’ Week 2016 celebrates the UK’s 1 million trustees and promotes the benefits of volunteering to be a trustee. Independent research shows that the UK is number 6 in the world for giving and volunteering and trustees play a vital role in making our charity sector so vibrant and strong. This year Trustees’ Week will focus on good governance and the skills needed to make trustees effective leaders.
The coalition is inviting charities and charity trustees to get involved in Trustees’ Week by joining in with webinars, live events and social media. Trustees’ Week is also inviting charities and other bodies to list trustee-matching, training and celebration events on their website.
Trustees’ Week 2016 highlights:
- NCVO/ BWB and Third Sector Governance Forum’s charity conferences on Monday 7th November
- Charity Commission Webinar on good governance for Trustees on Tuesday 8th November, 7pm to 8pm – free online
- Free training resources from umbrella bodies and professional bodies
