All content in this course is tailored to Scottish charity law as regulated by the OSCR.

What others say

Clearly articulated with a wide range of information provided and questions answered. Having a guest speaker and charity speed dating really brought it to life and gave meaning and context. - Lucy C-W, Local Government 

Extremely helpful. It provided a real insight into the work of trustees. I liked the ability to ask questions of the Trustees and gain an understanding of the needs and issues faced by their charities. I’d definitely recommend. – Debbie K, Government solicitor

The structure of the course was ideal, I was able to comprehend and digest the responsibilities and expectations of a Trustee. - Rafia F, UBS

The programme also includes bespoke matching support, where we use your interests, skillset and location preferences to find relevant Trustee vacancies from our network, helping participants on each programme to join Boards as Trustees.
