Trustees Empowering and Supporting Communities in Leeds Event

Come and join us (26/10/23 10-12.45) at Voluntary Action Leeds (light lunch provided).

Charity trustees are the people who share ultimate responsibility for governing a charity/voluntary organisation and directing how it is managed and run. They may be called: trustees, the board, the management committee, governors, or something else but they all have specific duties and responsibilities, giving their time on a volunteer basis. Whilst some volunteer too and other focus entirely on helping decide the direction a charity takes, without them charities would struggle immensely to continue operating.

As part of the build up to Trustees Week Trustees Week – Showcasing the work of charity trustees) which will celebrate the contribution of Trustees, we will be holding a meeting to bring together a range of trustees, from small charities, voluntary groups, particularly culturally diverse groups, in Leeds to encourage trustees to share their skills, experience and good practice with each other.  We would also like to hear about what would make you a better trustee, what issues and challenges you face as a trustee, such as how you work effectively as a team and with your volunteers and staff, (if you have any) and how you are accountable to your community and sustain your organisation. We hope to help you to navigate this rewarding but sometimes difficult role.

We will also be looking at how we can support you further as a trustee in the coming future, perhaps with a trustee network or workshops on specific issues. So please join us to share and learn more about developing yourself as a trustee, to benefit the people your organisation supports.  Trustees Empowering and Supporting Communities in Leeds – Come and join us – Doing Good Leeds
