Trustees' Week, 4 to 8 November, is a time to honour the incredible work of trustees.
Here are some little-known facts about trustees:
- Diverse backgrounds: Trustees often come from varied professional backgrounds, bringing a wealth of different skills and perspectives to the charity
- Legal responsibility: Trustees have a legal duty to ensure their charity is solvent, well-run, and delivering on its mission
- Voluntary role: Most trustees are volunteers, dedicating their time without financial compensation
- Governance focus: They focus on governance and strategy rather than day-to-day operations, ensuring the charity’s long-term success
- Training and development: Trustees often undergo training to stay updated on best practices and legal requirements
These dedicated individuals are crucial in steering charities towards achieving their goals, ensuring they remain accountable, and effectively serving their communities.
In Nottingham, we're celebrating the dedication and impact of our local trustees who support and strengthen our communities. Tell us about the role trustees have played in your organisation. Are you a trustee for a local charity?
