• Trustees’ Week 2026 – celebrating and supporting charity trustees

Trustees’ Week takes place from 9-13 November 2026, bringing organisations together to celebrate the contribution trustees make to charities across the UK.

There are nearly one million trustees in the UK, giving their time, commitment and experience to help charities thrive. Trustees’ Week is an opportunity to recognise that contribution, while also helping trustees connect, learn and build their skills.

What is happening during Trustees’ Week?

Throughout the week, trustees will have opportunities to connect with others,  share experiences and access events, training and guidance.

You can also:

• Test your knowledge with the Trustee Quiz
• access Charity Commission guidance and 5-minute guides
• Hear from other trustees about their experiences
• Download free resources to help your organisation support and celebrate Trustees’ Week.
