Trustees’ Week 2022 (7-11 November)
Trustees’ Week is a time for us to come together to celebrate the achievements of nearly 1 million trustees across the UK.
The theme this year is making a difference in changing times. 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.

This webinar, with SCVO’s free legal and tax advice service partners, will give trustees the practical tools and information they need to survive and thrive during the cost-of-living crisis.
