The Onboarding: induction training for newly appointed trustees
Many trustees tell us they didn’t have a clear overview of their responsibilities when inducted into their board.
In this free one-hour session, we'll take you through your trustee duties in a clear and engaging way. There will be a chance to ask questions and we'll signpost you to further support. This session is also suitable as a refresher for existing trustees.

Organisations in crisis: the role of trustees
Trustees need to be able to navigate an eye-watering range of crises, from key staff departing to safeguarding concerns, from running out of money to fighting on the board.
Although this one-hour session can’t possibly cover all of the possible crises which might befall a charity, it will cover prevention and resolution for some of the most common crises in charities.
Wednesday 3rd July 4.30-5.30pm
A risky business: a guide to risk taking for trustees. - Book this session
Charity trustees are notoriously risk averse. And that’s not surprising given that they are entrusted with the good governance of a charity, with expectations weighing down on them from all directions.
Surely trustees are quite right to avoid risk like the plague?
Actually, perhaps not. If we are too risk averse, we can miss opportunities, stifle innovation and fail to invest in growth.
This session will be ideal for trustees interested in managing risks in their charities, who don’t have professional expertise in risk management.

Beyond the trustee's role description
Every effective trustee needs to understand charity governance and their legal responsibilities (and we have just the webinar for that). However, being an impactful trustee requires more than this. Good governance is essential but not enough.
This session is for those trustees and aspiring trustees who have a passion to take their charity forward, to grow impact, to leave a personal legacy and feel the sense of personal fulfilment from the time they volunteer.
