An Introduction to Trustee Roles and Responsibilities

Are you a trustee of an organisation or interested in becoming one? This session will be delivered online via Teams, and will take you through the key roles and responsibilities of a trustee. This will also apply to Directors of organisations.

Through a mix of interactive presentations and group activities participants will learn:

• The legal duties of trustees
• The key roles and responsibilities of trustees
• What is good governance

This will help current or aspiring trustees to gain confidence in their roles and make a positive difference to their organisation. 

Our Support and Development team helps organisations to run successfully and make a positive difference in their communities. This training is for voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations serving Newcastle and/or Gateshead.

You can only book one place for yourself. If a colleague wants to attend, they will need to book separately themselves. This training is limited to a maximum of 2 people per organisation. When you book, please ensure that you give us all the essential information requested so that we know your registration is genuine.

Our training and events are funded from a variety of sources, allowing us to offer them for free to eligible organisations. Please check the eligibility requirements for each session before signing up, as this varies from course to course. If your organisation is not eligible for a free session you may be interested in one of our tailored training packages.
