About this event

This course will help you understand a trustee's legal role and what duties you will have to undertake.

We will take you through the rules on charity trustee remuneration and cover the common pitfalls you might face, e.g. conflicts of interest. We'll also look at some of the other specific duties that apply to trustees of Scottish charities.

All of this will come backed up with a handy resource pack which will be emailed to you. There will also be time to ask questions.

Who should attend?

Anyone thinking of becoming a trustee or existing trustees who want to develop their understanding of the role.

Please note that priority is given to people volunteering for organisations based in Edinburgh.

Why do I have to pay a fee if I am on the board of an organisation outside Edinburgh?

EVOC is funded to provide support to the third sector in Edinburgh. That means we can provide this training course free of charge to groups and organisations working in the city. People working or volunteering for organisations outside the city are welcome to register, but have to pay a small fee.

Why can I only book 2 spaces on this training course?

This is one of our most popular training courses. In order to make sure we support as many groups and organisations in Edinburgh as possible, we limit bookings to two per charity.
