Trustee’s Week is an annual campaign that aims to raise awareness of the work of trustees across the UK.
Trustees are essentially the people in charge of a charity, volunteering their time and working together to make important decisions about a charity’s work. They are vital to the ongoing running of community and charity organisations, and therefore make a huge impact on their local community.
Volunteer Centre Sefton are regularly contacted by local charities looking for trustees, so there is always a need for volunteers who have the skills, experience and passion to help a charity to develop
Skills that charities are looking for from trustees often include:
MANAGEMENT FINANCE
EMPLOYMENT LAW PROJECT MANAGEMENT
STAFF SUPERVISION RESEARCH
DATA ANALYSIS VOLUNTEER MANAGEMENT
MARKETING PROBLEM SOLVING
Being a trustee can be hugely satisfying, provide great opportunities for professional development and is not necessarily a huge time commitment.
