We’re running a series of free events for the sector for Trustees’ Week, which takes place from 9 – 13 November in 2026 and here’s what you can expect.
WHAT IS TRUSTEES’ WEEK?
Trustees’ Week is an annual event to showcase the great work that trustees do and highlights the opportunities for people from all walks of life to get involved and make a difference. It’s a time for us to come together to celebrate the achievements of nearly one million trustees across the UK.
We’ll be celebrating, supporting and inspiring trustees by hosting a series of free online events for them (and those who’d like to know more about becoming a trustee) to participate in.
