Who is it for?

Volunteers, trustees (new to experienced trustees)

• Are you an effective charity trustee?
• Are you a new charity trustee or committee member and need to understand what you should be doing?

What will you get out of it?

Learn all you need to know practically about your role as a charity trustee, including guidance updates, practical skills, compliance requirements and more.

This interactive training aims to help you be a great trustee and help your organisation to build and maintain an excellent well skilled board.

Over four sessions throughout the year we will take a bitesize lite touch look at a practical range of topics – from induction of trustees to day-to-day operational matters, duties of trustees, how to run effective meetings and AGMs, managing staff and volunteers, remuneration of charity trustees, managing risk, compliance with law and regulation, and even what to do when things go wrong at board or committee level. We will also look at the most recent changes in charity law.

In this third session in the series we look at:

• How to hold good board meetings,
• Running an AGM,
• Annual governance tasks and reporting requirements
