Trustees Week 2023

11 October 2023

6 - 10 November 2023

Trustees are the people who lead a charity and decide how it is run. They are the key decision makers in a charity and use their life experience and skills to help the charity to achieve their aims.
 

This year we celebrate the individual talents, viewpoints and experiences each trustee brings to their board and their collective decision making and how diversity can help make a charity stronger. We also highlight the wealth of guidance and support that charities can draw on, to survive and thrive.
 

Bedfordshire Trustees Network

This network aims to bring together Trustees, Directors and Committee members from charities and not-for-profit groups of all sizes to share best practice and talk about the challenges facing them in their roles.

Wednesday 8 November 6pm — 8pm
