  Trustees are the people who are in charge of a charity, sometimes also called Board members or Committee members. Trustees are the lifeblood of our sector - without trustees there would be no charities operating in Fife!

  This free training session is designed to help new or potential Trustees to understand their role and responsibilities so that they can enjoy and thrive in their role free from stress or worries by understanding what they can and should be doing. It includes practical examples and time to answer your specific queries.

  This course is intended to encourage new and to support existing trustees/board members in the valuable voluntary work they undertake and includes:

  • What is governance and why does it matter?
  • What could go wrong? Why does it go wrong?
  • Understanding the role
  • Perceptions & boundaries
  • Accountability
  • Delegated tasks
  • Conflicts of Interest
  • Meetings
  • Seeking help

  Who should attend?

  New and existing trustees/board/committee members who want to learn or refresh their knowledge and skills of their role.

  Restrictions

  To ensure as many trustees/board/committee members as possible have the opportunity to attend, we will restrict places to 2 per organisation in the first instance.

  Before you submit this

  Access, dietary and other requirements. Please use the boxes above to tell us about any access, communication, dietary or other requirement, for yourself or anybody you are booking for. We will do our best to meet what you tell us, and we will get in touch if we think we might struggle to, or if we need to know a bit more.

  Refreshments. There is normally tea, coffee, water and biscuits. Lunch and anything else is only provided where the event description above says so.

  Your place is not confirmed yet. When you submit this form we will e-mail you an acknowledgement of what you have told us. That is not a confirmation. We will look at the request and send a separate e-mail confirming or declining it, as soon as we can.

  Terms and conditions. You can read them in full before you book.

You can ask us to change or delete it at any time. Our privacy notice explains your rights in full.

What happens next

We will e-mail you as soon as you submit this form, confirming what you have told us. That is not a confirmed place. A second e-mail follows once a person here has checked and confirmed it — your place is confirmed when you receive that one.

Most people at our events are staff, volunteers or committee members of community groups, social enterprises and voluntary organisations. We take bookings from public sector colleagues for almost everything, and from private sector businesses for some events.

If you are not part of an organisation, put Private Individual in the organisation box and we will get in touch before confirming.

Give each person their own e-mail address if you can. Everything about the event goes to the person attending, and the link to change or cancel a place is personal to them.
