Trustees' Week is a UK wide initiative which celebrates the good work of trustees. This year’s Trustees’ Week is held between the 7th and 11th of November. 

Throughout the week, there will be lots of free Trustees' Week Webinars happening and there is also a host of free resources. 

What is a trustee? Trustees are the individuals who make decisions on behalf of a charity and are responsible for making sure it’s doing what it was set up to do. 

The Trustee position is relatively misunderstood, as are the benefits to those who give up their time to support local charities.
