Free Training: Trustees Roles and Responsibilities

Thursday 25 June 2026, 10:00 - 13:30

Community Action Derby, 30 Charnwood Street, Derby DE1 2GU

A clear guide to the six main trustee duties to help you understand the role, governance responsibilities, and confident decision-making.

Exploring the six main trustee duties, as outlined by The Charities Commission:

1. Ensure your charity is carrying out its purposes for the public benefit
2. Comply with your charity’s governing document and the law
3. Act in your charity’s best interests
4. Manage your charity’s resources responsibly
5. Act with reasonable care and skill
6. Ensure your charity is accountable

The session will support you to be clear on your roles and responsibilities. You will reflect on your own governing document, understanding your governance arrangements and being confident in the decision-making process.
