Trustees' Week runs from 4 to 8 November this year.

This year's theme is celebrating, supporting and inspiring trustees. We've put together a list of seven free things that you can do now in preperation:

1. Share our free to stream Charities Act (2022) webinar with your trustees and wider team.
2. Browse through current trustee vacancies in the county and become a trustee for a local group & organisation. These are listed at the bottom of our 'Job Vacancies' news post each week.
3. Upload your trustee vacancies to Go Volunteer Glos (the free online volunteering platform in Gloucestershire).
4. Book your place on the NCVO Trustees' Week event on 5 November (where they will launch their trustee recruitment and retention report).
5. Book your place on NCVO’s Accessible Governance: How to Strengthen your Board Webinar on 8 November.
6. Tune into Third Sector’s The secret to a successful CEO-chair relationship podcast.
7. Head over to the resources section on our website for links to free toolkits, useful information and more.

Join us to celebrate

Please join us and get involved in this year's celebrations. We've shared a few suggestions about how you can do this in our 'Get Involved' article last week.

We’d also love for you to share any of your trustee stories with us by emailing them to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or by tagging us in on X and Facebook - we’re GlosVCSAlliance on both.
