Are you a trustee for a charity or community organisation in Suffolk?

Following the publication of the House of Lords Select Committee on Charities report in March 2017 (Stronger Charities for a Stronger Society), CAS has decided to bring the report to life in a practical way here in Suffolk: “Stronger charities for a stronger Suffolk” conference on Wednesday 7 February 2018.


Are you a trustee for a charity or community organisation in Suffolk?

Recommendation 1 from the report:

“Training and development are essential for Charity trustees in order for the VCSE sector to work effectively. It’s the responsibility of the chair to ensure that this vital activity takes place.”

One of the conference workshops will consider the leadership of trustee boards, the skills required to run effective organisations and the diversity of trustee boards.


The conference will give delegates practical tips, actions and support. We will ensure everyone leaves having gained knowledge of the report and what it means to the VCSE sector. We will look at how we can all apply it in Suffolk, ensuring that a robust, resilient and sustainable sector thrives in its contribution to the communities we serve.
