Trustee Training with RVA – Nov 2025
35-39 London Street, Reading, RG1 4PS
Trustees play an essential role in our society, making our charity sector work. It’s a hugely rewarding role but it’s not always easy to get all the information you require to be sure you are carrying out your role as effectively as possible. This training will help give you an overview of what’s expected of trustees as well as providing a networking opportunity with your fellow trustees from the area.
Outcomes of this training are:
- To better understand your role and legal responsibilities as a trustee
- To understand how this role fits with other roles in the charity
- To understand your reporting responsibilities
- To know where to go for help and support
- To feel confident in being an active member of your Board/Committee and helping to achieve your charities purposes
To achieve this we will cover:
- Introduction: ‘Trustee’, ‘members’ and others.
- Trustee responsibilities: 6 Main Legal Duties
- Limiting liability and legal structures
- Effective board leadership and trustee roles
- Essential resources and links to help you on your way
The training is suitable for new and existing trustees. In some small community groups you may refer to yourselves as the Committee. If you have overall responsibility for your community group, then this course is for you.
This training will be delivered by Reading Voluntary Action’s Advice Service Manager, Herjeet Vass. Herjeet has a background in Law and charity management and also helps groups to attain the Safe and Sound Quality Award for good governance in charities.
Practicalities: Registration and refreshments from 09:30. Cost £10.
NEW Venue: Conference Hall, Reading International Solidarity Centre (RISC). Come to the ‘event space’ entrance as marked on this map.
