Save £100 on additional charity places.

As we return for our sixth year, our theme is ‘challenges shared’, emphasising that Trustee Exchange has always been produced by trustees, for the benefit of trustees, but also for chief executives and company secretaries. That's why every extra charity place comes with £100 off.

If you haven’t joined us before, you’ll find trustees of various experience and from all sorts of charities ready to share their knowledge and stories with you - formally in the sessions or in more relaxed mood during our three breaks. Our primary aim is that you take away practical learnings that you can then employ to govern your charity more effectively. But ask previous delegates, and they’ll also tell you they take away much more - a renewed enthusiasm for their role and new friendships usually being top of the list.
