HCR Law, one of the firms on the Methodist Church’s panel of solicitors, is holding in-person seminars during Trustees’ Week 2025 (3rd–7th November 2025). These are open to Managing Trustees and will celebrate and support the important work undertaken by charity trustees.
Held annually each November, Trustees’ Week highlights the vital role charity trustees play in the governance and success of charities and voluntary organisations. It highlights the contribution made by charity trustees, raises awareness of their responsibilities, and encourages more people to consider becoming trustees themselves.
The week offers opportunities for training, networking, and sharing best practices, as well as fostering a stronger and more effective voluntary sector.
The events feature keynote speakers, expert legal panels, and professional advisers to help charity trustees connect, learn, and develop their skills. Full details of each event can be found below:
