It’s Trustees’ Week! A time for us to come together to celebrate the achievements of nearly one million trustees across the UK, and to shine a spotlight on York’s trustees and the amazing contribution they make to our city!
Trustees are at the heart of every charity – large or small. They ensure organisations meet their legal and financial obligations while staying true to their charitable purpose. Trustees give generously of their time, expertise, and energy, and this generosity is the foundation the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector.

Your guidance helps us navigate challenges, seize opportunities, and stay true to our values. We are truly grateful for your time, expertise, and passion for supporting York’s VCSE sector to thrive – thank you!
