Leading for impact: The Trustee's role in a changing landscape

From AI and digital transformation to funding, workforce challenges, culture and leadership, we'll take a closer look at the trends redefining how charities operate, adapt and grow. Through a panel discussion featuring a range of voices from across the sector, you'll hear practical perspectives to support with innovation, adaptability and resilience.

We recognise the vital contribution trustees make to charities and the wider voluntary sector. As part of our support for Trustees' Week 2026, we're offering this event free of charge, bringing trustees and charity finance professionals together to share insights, discuss challenges and learn from one another.
