Events


If you are thinking about organising an event for Trustees' Week 2015 (2-8 November), you don't have to hold it during the week itself. You can hold your event any time around then. Why not look at the list of events held in 2014 for some ideas about what you can do? It could be training, workshops, coffee mornings, celebratory events, speed-matching charities to prospective trustees, anything! 

Once you've decided, please email us the details - when, where, what, cost etc and we will put the details here on the Trustees' Week site. Details will also be automatically sent to everyone who has signed up for our updates, and promoted on Twitter @trusteesweek.
