Training and Support for Bradford District’s Trustees
3rd June 2026
Thousands of people in Bradford district volunteer every year to be in charge of charities and other voluntary sector groups and organisations, thank you to everyone who takes the time to do this vital leadership role.
New trustee?
Due to popular demand, we now have Roles and Responsibilities of Trustees back on the training programme as an open course, ideal for training a new trustee as part of their induction and FREE for organisations with an annual income up to £100,000:
- Roles and Responsibilities of Trustees, 9 July 2026, 5.30pm to 7pm online
- Roles and Responsibilities of Trustees, 11 November 2026, 5.30pm to 7pm online
What past attendees have said:
“Very good course, with useful information and where to get more info. Lots to think about, will look forward to getting copies of excellent handouts.”
“I found this course really useful. I especially like Sarah’s willingness to answer questions and her breadth of knowledge.”
Want to train the whole board?
Perfect for refreshing everyone’s knowledge and giving the whole board a chance to discuss how governance is working well and where it could be improved. Community Action can come to you.
Book an in-house training session just for your organisation and it will be tailored to your governing document.
If your charity has an income over £100,000 per year and you want to train more than five trustees online, this also works out cheaper than paying for five or more places on our open Role and Responsibilities of trustees courses.
Evening or daytime sessions are available, choose a day and time that works for you.
