Weekly Pass - Festival of Trusteeship 2025

The Festival is for current trustees, aspiring trustees, charity leaders, governance professionals and anyone interested in the future of board leadership. The Festival is led by Eastside People, during Trustees' Week 2025, proudly supported by the Institute of Leadership.

Not at all! You can attend as many or as few sessions as you like. Each event is individually ticketed, so you can choose what fits your schedule and interests. However, you may prefer a weekly pass which includes access to all 15 events and we will send pass holders the recordings automatically.

Online sessions will be via Zoom. You’ll receive a confirmation email after booking with access details. We’ll also send reminders and joining links ahead of each session.

Sessions for aspiring trustees are free to attend, as is our launch event with the Charity Commission. Most events have a small fee to cover costs. We keep ticket prices low thanks to the support of our sponsors. Please see individual event listings for details. A weekly pass offers the best value.

Absolutely. Whether you're just curious or actively looking for a role, this Festival is a great place to learn, connect and explore next steps. In particular, if you’re thinking of becoming a trustee you can attend any of our ‘Aspiring Trustee’ sessions at no charge.
