To celebrate Trustees Week (2 to 6 November 2020), Getting on Board are delighted to bring you their first ever Festival of Trusteeship.
It's for people who want to become trustees, trustees who want to keep learning and developing, and for charity leaders who want to understand best practice in trustee recruitment and diversity.
The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport is currently developing guidance to help volunteer-involving organisations, groups and bodies based in England better understand how volunteering can be done safely and effectively during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
As part of this guidance development, they are asking employees and volunteers from volunteer-involving organisations, groups and bodies to complete a short survey. The results of this survey will be used to help them to ensure this guidance meets the needs of its users.
Manchester was designated a UNESCO City of Literature in 2017, following a successful bid from a partnership led by Manchester City Council, The University of Manchester, Manchester Metropolitan University and involving a range of partners, publishers, festivals, writing agencies, libraries and cultural organisations.
Getting on Board exists to change the face of trusteeship. We want to help people from all walks of life become trustees. Getting on Board do this by working with charities to change their attitudes towards diversity and by working with aspiring trustees to better equip them to secure and thrive in a trustee role.
Community Forest Trust are currently seeking to recruit up to four further trustees to join their board to help take the organisation through the next few years of dynamic and exciting change, expansion of operations and on-the-ground delivery.
This is a great opportunity to contribute to a high-profile agenda and inform the delivery of national programmes of tree planting.
360Giving are a small charity with a big impact. 360Giving have come a long way in five years, thanks largely to the commitment and passion of the Board of Trustees. Several of the founding Trustees are coming to the end of their terms, so 360Giving are looking for three new Trustees to help take them to the next phase.
Are you interested in social change? Would you like to play a strategic and advisory role in a research charity? The Institute for Voluntary Action Research (IVAR) wants to hear from you.
IVAR is looking for four new trustees, who bring life experience and a passion for the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector. They are hoping to build a board that reflects the diversity of communities that they seek to serve.
Volunteer Co-ordinators Forum - What is it?
The Volunteer Co-ordinators Forum (VCF) is a chance for people who are responsible for involving volunteers in the work of their organisation, whether as their paid job or as a volunteer themselves, to come together. It is a peer support space facilitated by Volunteer Centre Manchester, a space to share ideas and resources that you have found useful and to seek support and advice from other volunteer coordinators in the city.
Manchester has been heading strongly towards a 2025 target to become an even more talented, fair, buzzing, great-to-live-in, connected place.
Are you a Manchester voluntary, community and social enterprise sector organisation?

We are looking for 20 VCSE organisations to share their stories during the week of 21-25 September.
