FREE Webinar from the Charity Commission!
Why join the Webinar?
The Charity Commission defines the essential role of a Charity Trustee through six main duties which include: acting in the charity’s best interests, managing resources responsibly, and exercising reasonable care and skill. To support trustees in fulfilling these responsibilities, the Charity Commission offers some excellent (and free) sessions specifically designed for faith charities, which we hope Managing Trustees across the Connexion will find helpful.
The Charity Commission is holding its next “Trustee Duties” webinar on Thursday 5th November 2026 at 12 noon.

This and other events run by the Charity Commission provide valuable opportunities for Managing Trustees, staff and volunteers to strengthen their understanding of charity law, governance and good practice.
If you cannot attend the webinar itself, the Charity Commission intend to circulate a recording of the webinar and slides following the event. Please note that you would need to sign up to the event first in order to access the recording.
Finally, Managing Trustees may find it helpful to read the useful guidance produced by the Connexional Team which summarises charity trustee duties in a Methodist context The-Five-Golden-Rules-of-being-a-Trustee.
