This event is held by Getting on Board- this is what they have to say about it:
This session is part of our Trustee Learning Programme, providing free and high-quality training to support people to become and serve as effective trustees.
Two thirds of trustees are aged over 50 (Taken on Trust research, 2017). This is particularly problematic for charities which work with children and young people but whose trustees haven’t been able to call themselves “young” for some decades.
Join the Young Trustees Movement and Getting on Board to discuss the barriers and enablers to involving young people in trusteeship.
Hear what younger leaders, and those working alongside them, have learned from their work on embedding young trustees in London charities.
This session is funded by City Bridge Trust and is particularly aimed at trustees and staff from London-based charities, but everyone is welcome.
About the session This session is free to attend with the option to make a donation amount of your choice at checkout. The minimum donation amount is £1.
The session will take place on Zoom. The joining link will be sent in the Eventbrite confirmation email. You will also receive email reminders from Eventbrite 2 days, 2 hours and 10 minutes before the session starts. These reminders will also include the joining link.
The session will be recorded and be later uploaded to our YouTube channel. We're so pleased as to how popular our sessions have been, many have sold out. Please only book a ticket if you intend to join the session live. We'd totally recommend subscribing to our YouTube channel so you can be kept up to date with all the new uploads.
If the session uses slides, we will send these to all who have booked a ticket following the session. Our panel sessions don't use slides. If you having the slides prior to the session will make it more accessible for you, please email info@gettingonboard.org and we will gladly send them to you.
As an attendee, you can enable closed captions during the session. For panels, we 'spotlight' panelists so the view stays consistently on those speaking. If you have booked a ticket, please contact info@gettingonboard.org if there are other adjustments we can make to the session to make it accessible to you.
Getting on Board's sessions are specifically for trustees of charities registered in England and Wales, although many of the principles of effective, inclusive trusteeship are broadly the same wherever trustees are based. Trustees of charities in Scotland and Northern Ireland are welcome to attend our sessions but should check local differences and will find excellent support from OSCR, SCVO, Inspiring Scotland, Charity Commission Northern Ireland and NICVA (Northern Ireland Council for Voluntary Action).
