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.

Annual Trustee Conference

Each year, during the first week of November we celebrate the National Trustees' Week, hosting our annual Hertfordshire Trustee Conference in collaboration with Hertfordshire Community Foundation. Every edition brings a range of excellent speakers and workshops to encourage best practices for both potential and current board members. Everything that will help you on your trustee journey!
