Trustees’ Week 2023 (6-10 November)

Trustees’ Week is a time  to celebrate the achievements of over 1 million trustees across the UK.  The theme this year is Many voices. Working together. With purpose. 

As our external environment continues to change, we face new challenges. The positive impact you make as a trustee is invaluable to a sector that is now as important as ever to benefit society. Thank you for the time, commitment and effort you bring to your charities to help them thrive.

At Volunteer Now, we’d like to say an extra special Thank You to our own Board of Trustees for all their hard work!
