Charity Trustees’ Week - A big thank you!

Charity Trustees’ Week is a great big THANK YOU to charity trustees across Ireland for the important and tireless work you carry out throughout the year in the governance and leadership of Ireland’s charities. It is organised in partnership by the Charities Regulator, Boardmatch Ireland, Carmichael, Charities Institute Ireland, Dóchas, Pobal, The Wheel, and Volunteer Ireland.

This year’s calendar offers a range of events to celebrate the work of charity trustees and provide support and insights to help you fulfil your roles and responsibilities.

We’ve kept in mind the suggestions and feedback from charity trustees on the topics you want to learn more about as well as the format and times that suit best to create a calendar with something for every trustee, whatever the size or purpose of your charity.

As well as celebrating the work of charity trustees, the week’s events will also help to raise awareness among the public and others interested in the sector of the vital contribution  of charity trustees to Ireland’s over 11,500 registered charities.
