Guest Blogs

We welcome guest blogs from anyone to do with trusteeship; for example:

* Are you a trustee? If so, tell us about your experience - how did you move into your role, what are the ups and downs of trusteeship, does anything need to change?
* Are you a charity trying to widen your board? What are the challenges of this? Do you think anything needs to change around trustee recruitment?
* Are you in board recruitment? Give us the inside story!

The above bullets are just the starting point - if you're interested in writing a blog or opinion piece for us, please get in touch at trusteesweek@charitycommission.gsi.gov.uk
