Trustees’ Development Programme

The Trustees’ Development Programme is aimed at aspiring trustees. This is a three part programme that provides training on key areas that aspiring Trustees need to be aware of. This is a joint programme in partnership with the Jewish Volunteering Network (JVN).

The programme is as follows:

  • July 9th - How to prepare for your first trusteeship (7-8.30pm online)

The first part of this session will include a detailed skills audit which will help you identify your strengths and areas for development, in order to help you to understand how you could contribute meaningfully as a trustee. The second half will be led by a charity law expert who will go through the basic duties of a trustee and provide signposting to relevant resources to support your development.

  • September 10th - Charity finance and fundraising - what you need to know (7-8.30pm online)

This session will cover the key responsibilities relating to charity finance such as understanding financial statements, budgeting, and legal duties related to charity finance. It will also include how trustees can effectively support or oversee fundraising efforts within an organisation.

  • November 4th - Interview process (Evening, in person)

This practical session will create a mock interview environment with seasoned trustees to help build your confidence and sharpen your skills in a supportive setting. Take part in mock interviews, get tailored feedback, and learn how to clearly communicate your motivations and strengths.
