Trustees’ Week 2022, 7-11 November
This is an opportunity to celebrate the people that keep our organisations running and to tempt newbies into the fold!
Every organisation in the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector has a group of people that ensure safe passage for all that climb aboard! They are called Trustees, Directors, Steering Group or Executive Members and many other things – they are all Trustees. What brings them together is the responsibility they share to keep our voluntary sector vibrant, safe and evolving.
This country relies on volunteers in every aspect of community life, from sport and leisure to health and social care. Trustees are people from all walks of life that go that step further, lending their knowledge and experience to overseeing organisations they believe in and grow a real affection for.
During Trustees Week, on social media, on our website and across the Hampshire CVS network, you can look forward to testimonies from active trustees, training opportunities and lots of temptations for prospective trustees! We aim to break the myth that Trusteeship is only open to a select few. The voluntary sector is a vibrant and diverse community and this should be reflected in those who are Trustees.
If you are a Trustee, this is your chance to add to the voices telling us how rewarding your role is and how your community benefits from your volunteering. Go to the RVS social media sites or drop us a line, so we can add it to the celebration!
