Trustee Learning Programme

We've extended our Trustee Learning Programme. It’s our big ambition that as part of their charity leadership role, all trustees regularly set aside time and energy to come to webinars, take part in workshops and join in with networking sessions. All sessions are free thanks to generous sponsorship from Rathbones who support the finance webinars, Russell-Cooke who support our governance webinars and five leading recruitment agencies Charisma, Diversifying Group, Starfish,TPP and Peridot have come together to support the webinars that relate to trustee recruitment.
