Trustees’ Week will be taking place from 7 – 11 November

 

Voluntary Action Merthyr Tydfil would like to thank trustees across Merthyr Tydfil and throughout Wales for their valuable contribution to supporting communities and the Third Sector.

Trustees’ Week is a time for us to come together to celebrate the achievements of over 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. Thank you for the time, commitment and effort you bring to your charities to help them thrive.

Throughout the week you’ll have the online chance to connect with other trustees to share your experiences. You’ll also be able to develop your skills through the wide range of events, training and guidance.

For further information regarding events for trustees https://trusteesweek.org/events/

VAMT will be holding a trustee network event on Monday November 28th at 10am until 12 noon.  This  has been rescheduled due to some building work at our venue.
