In September 2023, Macc launched our first What We Stand For policy statements. These new statements set out our stance on a range of issues that affect our city. However, these are more than just written statements. They are our commitment to sharing what we believe and collaborating with others to challenge the very real social issues facing our city.

Effective boards require more than technical expertise. They rely on the right mix of skills, behaviours, perspectives and participation to make sound decisions and fulfil their responsibilities.
This flagship Trustee Week webinar will explore the findings of CGIUKI's Modern Trustee research and consider what organisations can do to build stronger, more inclusive and more effective boards.
Join Media Trust for a one-hour online panel on care, power and impact.
How can charities support spokespeople with lived experience to shape media conversations safely, effectively and on their own terms? And how can that work build community, solidarity and lasting change? At a time of rising hostility and backlash, it’s vital to consider whose perspectives shape the work, who makes decisions and the importance of building networks of care and support that extend beyond individual media opportunities.
What we'll explore
An online week of inspiring discussions, practical tools and bold ideas to reimagine trusteeship. Individual and board tickets available.
Individual tickets £30, Bring your Board £120 for small charities and £200 for medium/large charities.
