About this Event

Do you have new trustees on your Board or have you taken on a trustee role yourself? If so, this is an essential course for launching or refreshing your Board career.

C&BS Head of Board Development, Catriona Reynolds, takes new trustees and Board members through their paces in an information-packed, in-person course.


What will you learn?

During the day, you’ll explore:

• duties of charitable trustees/board members

• different roles and responsibilities of board members and staff

• meeting management and decision-making

• advocacy and fundraising responsibilities

• the trustee’s role in strategic planning

• understanding the finances


Who is it for?

New trustees and Board members seeking an introduction to their roles and responsibilities. The course will be a blend of slide presentation, practical exercises carried out in smaller groups, and whole group feedback and discussion.

A reading list, with all material available online, is provided in advance of the course to give you background information on different topics. Copies of any exercises will also be sent out in advance so that you can read them and, where appropriate, print them out before taking part.


“Highly recommended. Take time to read the material and around the subject and make the most of the opportunity. You'd be very fortunate to get on the course.”
