Join us at our monthly gathering to discuss the basics of trusteeship

Join us online to discuss the basics of trusteeship.

This event is co-hosted by Colette Harrison, Development Officer, Sector Support at Community Foundation and Karen Watson, Manager, Volunteer Centre Newcastle.

This event is for you if you are considering a trustee role, if you have recently become a trustee or if you would like a refresher for your role, to make sure that you are getting the most from your trusteeship.

This event will begin with a brief presentation about the role of a trustee, followed by an informal discussion.

Bring your questions or listen-in to the conversation.
