Trustee training course - London
This course is an excellent way of becoming an outstanding trustee sooner rather than later.
With lots of illustrated examples, covering topics from roles, collective authority and the three strands of governance, your relationship with the chair of trustees and the chief executive to understanding charity finance and governing without managing, this course helps you meet the Charity Commission's requirements for trustee induction. It also acts as a powerful refresher course for existing trustees who need to keep abreast of changes in legislation and evolving case law.
