Emerging Chairs – a programme to support those taking on charity leadership roles.

The acclaimed Trustee Leadership Programme has now launched an enriching career development opportunity, offered over one day, to cover the key considerations and skills needed to chair a Board of Trustees.

Rob Jackson, an international leading voice in volunteer management and published author on the subject, will be delivering a 1 day training course for Volunteer Managers and Coordinators.

Morning session: Volunteering is changing...and so must you
Volunteering is changing and old models of how to recruit and retain people are increasingly outdated. The session will explore some of these changes, and what you can do to adapt your volunteering offer.

The Act introduces a new, positive legal obligation for employers to protect workers from sexual harassment.
