25^th – 31^st October 2010 will be the first national Trustee Week, led by the Charity Commission and other national partners.  VANEL, the Third Sector Hub and the Thrive Trustee Network will be starting the week off by holding an event – “Join us and make a difference : Trustee recruitment event” on Monday 25^th October, between 2pm and 7pm in Grimsby (venue tbc).

This is a chance for anyone thinking of volunteering as a Trustee to find out more and to meet local third sector organisations wanting to recruit trustees or committee members.  For local organisations it is an opportunity to promote themselves to new potential board members.

The event will take the format of a focused recruitment fair, but with talks and presentations throughout the event from organisations and experienced trustees explaining the value of trusteeship.  The event will replace the October meeting of the Thrive Trustee Network and many of our local trustees will be helping with the event.

More information coming soon (see www.thrivetrustees.org.uk for more) or contact Karl Elliott at VANEL for information or to get involved.
