Introduction
Trustees play an essential role in our society, making our charity sector work. It’s a hugely rewarding role but it’s not always easy to get all the information you require to be sure you are carrying out your role as effectively as possible. This training will help give you an overview of what’s expected of trustees as well as providing a networking opportunity with your fellow trustees from the area.
Outcomes of this training are:
To better understand your role and legal responsibilities as a trustee
To understand how this role fits with other roles in the charity
To understand your reporting responsibilities
To know where to go for help and support
To feel confident in being an active member of your Board / Committee and helping to achieve your charities purposes!
To achieve this we will cover:
Introduction: ‘Trustee’, ‘members' and others.
Trustee responsibilities: 6 Main Legal Duties
Limiting liability and legal structures
Effective board leadership and trustee roles
Essential resources and links to help you on your way
Who should attend:
The training is suitable for new and existing trustees and will also give a valuable introduction to anyone thinking of taking on the role. In some small community groups you may refer to yourselves as the Committee. If you have overall responsibility for your community group, then this course is for you.
The training is primarily for Trustees of voluntary and community groups who operate services in Reading.
