Volunteer Coordinator Forum - May 2019
Volunteer Coordinator Forum – May 2019
Having been at the Volunteers Centre Manchester for eight months, I decided it was about time for me to learn more about the voluntary Trustee role.
Written by Macc’s Capacity Building Team, this article was initially composed for Macc members. Membership is free and open to all with a vested interest in the city of Manchester.
The first episode launches with an incredible story of resilience and impact. This episode features Maria Romanenko, nominated as Volunteer of the Year in the Spirit of Manchester Awards.
Fleeing Ukraine amidst war, Maria now devotes her time to supporting fellow Ukrainian refugees in Manchester. She offers free walking tours and thousands of volunteer hours, despite her own challenges. Maria’s dedication even earned her the Prime Minister’s Points of Light Award.
In Season 9 of the Meet the Mancunian Podcast, host Deepa Thomas-Sutcliffe collaborates with the Spirit of Manchester Awards to feature interviews with award winners and nominees from the city's voluntary and community sector.

Course Overview
92% of UK trustees are white, older, and above average income and education. Just 8% of charity trustees are from Black, Asian, and other minority backgrounds, and fewer than 3% are women of colour. 70% of charities find it difficult to recruit trustees, and there are an estimated 100,000 unfilled charity trustee positions in the UK. This half day training course is designed to demystify trustee recruitment for small organisations, and ensure that equity, diversity and inclusion is at the heart of your trustee recruitment.
