Trustees’ Week

Now in its 13th year, let’s come together to celebrate Trustees’ Week and mark the amazing achievements of nearly one million trustees across the UK.

Trustees’ Week 2023 takes place from 6 to 10 November.
This year at NCVO we're excited to celebrate how trustees work with purpose. In particular, how they use the principles around positive environmental, social, and governance action (ESG) to lead their charities to the future.
For us, ESG in charities is about how we celebrate.

• the unique perspective trustees bring to their board and to board decision-making
• how diversity of leadership can help make a charity stronger
• the role of trustees in keeping our organisations sustainable, now and for the future.

The 2023 theme is:
Many voices. Working Together. With Purpose
