Trustees Toolkit – Essential resources and information for trustees

Essential resources and information for Trustees, Directors, Board Members, Governors, and Committee Members.

Our Trustees Toolkit contains useful resources and information which will provide you with all you need to know about becoming a trustee, recruiting trustees and being a trustee, with case studies highlighting experiences of three trustees.
