Top Tips for New Trustees

Why come? 

Being a charity trustee is a hugely rewarding role – but does come with some demands and expectations. This session covers some key actions all trustees can take to make the most of their role, for themselves and for the organisation they serve. 

Who should attend? 

This workshop is especially helpful for new trustees, while also useful for those who would like some pointers on getting things right. 

 Outcomes 

• Clarify the ‘hat’ you are wearing as a trustee – regardless of any other role you have in a charity
• Explore ways you can be most effective in your role, in meetings and in the organisation. 

 What will it cover? 

• What is my role and purpose? Myths and perceptions
• How do I ‘show up’ at meetings? Making meetings work for all
• How can I be the best support to the organisation? Engaged and involved versus interfering
