£20pp

ACAT’s Trustee Training for Churches course has been designed to equip trustees with the skills they need to meet their legal and moral obligations.

The course has also been tailored to ensure that trustees have the knowledge consistently to manage their churches in the most appropriate way.

All trustees and those involved in the managing of their church are encouraged to attend this course.

It is a 2 session course and we highly recommend you attend both sessions if at all possible.

Session two explores the legal duties of trustees as set out in Charity Commission guidance ‘The essential trustee: what you need to know, what you need to do’, including:

  • Ensuring their own eligibility to be trustees;
  • Ensuring the charity carries out its purposes for the public benefit;
  • Complying with the charity’s governing document and the law;
  • Acting in the charity’s best interests;
  • Managing the charity’s resources responsibly;
  • Acting with reasonable care and skill; &
  • Ensuring the charity is accountable.

Course information

Please note: This is the second of two sessions – please do book both.

The training will be delivered via zoom.

After paying for your place, a member of the ACAT team will be in touch with full joining details.
