The Essential Trustee

Have you considered being a trustee but are not sure if you meet the criteria? Or maybe you have become a trustee and would like to learn more about your roles and responsibilities? Come along and learn more about this integral role to a volunteer organisation!

The session will be delivered by Owen Hewson, our Capacity Building Officer.

The session will cover:

• Trustee eligibility

• The ‘essential trustee’ – the six main duties of governance and compliance

• Trustee liability

• Role of officers

By the end of this session, you will have a greater understanding of the role and responsibilities of trustees and the vital role they have in managing the organisation. We will also offer a certificate of attendance.

You will also have the opportunity to ask questions and find out more about further support available from Bury VCFA.

Who is this session for?

The training is for volunteers working with Bury-based Volunteer, Community & Faith Organisations, who wish to refresh or learn new skills for being an essential trustee.

Please be aware that we can only allow two people per organisation.
