The first session is enhanced by an expert guest speaker, discussing their experiences as a Trustee, and answering questions.

At the Charity Matching Event, delegates will be supported to find a new board role through a "speed-dating" session with charity leaders seeking new Trustees.

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.

The sessions give participants extensive time for Q&A, allowing for specific queries about governance and trusteeship to be addressed..
