Learning and development events
The first annual Trustees' Week will be held 25-31 October 2010.
The week is being led by the Charity Commission in partnership with
NCVO, CTN, Reach, Getting on Board, the ICAEW and others. It aims
to raise the profile of becoming a trustee and to celebrate the
great work of trustees around the country.
