What is a Charity Trustee?

A trustee role is an opportunity to use your professional skills and life experiences to make a difference in a cause you believe in, and you’ll benefit too! Charities need many different types of people on their board to oversee their strategy and governance and will often support new trustees.


Find out more here and access resources about the work of trustees in a charity.

Supporting Trustees

Each year, in the first week of November we celebrate National Trustees' Week and host the Hertfordshire Trustee Conference in collaboration with Hertfordshire Community Foundation. We bring together a range of excellent speakers and workshops to encourage best practices for both potential and current board members.
