Trustees are the people in charge of a charity. They help to make the UK the sixth most giving country in the world. 
They play a vital role, volunteering their time and working together to make important decisions about the charity’s work.
Trustees’ Week is an annual event to showcase the great work that trustees do and highlight opportunities for people from all walks of life to get involved and make a difference.
