It's #TrusteesWeek! Thank you trustees for all your contributions 👏
Quote from Charity Commission CEO, David Holdsworth for Trustees' Week. Reading "Trustees' work often happens behind the scenes. It takes quiet care, sound judgement and, at times, real courage. Their commitment helps charities navigate challenges, seize opportunities and continue to serve their communities. During Trustees' Week, we recognise and celebrate the contribution trustees make right across the country. Thank you for all that you do."
