#TrusteesWeek round-up and podcast
Posted on 6 November 2015 by Jordan Ogg
Here we are at the end of #TrusteesWeek - and what a week it has been. We shared a special series of blogs, each full of useful advice. And we added a whole new section on good governance to our website. Add to this all the work that other third sector organisations have been doing, and you have a real treasure trove of resources for everyone to use. I’m quite new to the third sector, so #TrusteesWeek has been great for helping me understand the wide range of work that Trustees do. I’ve captured some of this in a podcast, which you can listen to below. I’m grateful to the four Trustees who took the time to speak to me:
- Brian Small from Penumbra
- Rebecca Stafford from Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre
- Sandy MacDonald from Children 1st
- Natalie Toyne from Oak Note Theatre
- Get involved with a charity that works for a cause you care about
- Boards are at their best when they include a diverse range of individuals
- It can be challenging work, but it’s the best kind of work - the kind that’s really worth it
