Celebrating the people behind Yorkshire‘s charities this Trustees’ Week
This Trustees’ Week (9–13 November), Community First Yorkshire is celebrating the people who give their time, skills and experience to help charities and community organisations thrive.
Trustees play a vital role in guiding organisations, making important decisions and helping them deliver positive change in their communities. Yet much of what they do happens quietly, behind the scenes.
To mark this year’s Trustees’ Week, we’re shining a spotlight on the people who make that difference, including our own dedicated Board of Trustees.
What inspired our trustees?
We’ve brought together a special collection of videos featuring five of our trustees, sharing what inspired them to take on the role, what they find rewarding and their advice for anyone considering trusteeship.
We’re also sharing insights from James Blake, Chair of Action with Communities in Rural England (ACRE), who spoke at our recent AGM and reflected on the value trustees bring to organisations.
