We’re keen to hear from any individuals, charities and organisations that wish to pick up the baton and continue the work to make trusteeship more accessible and effective. [6/7 🧵]
We are also exploring opportunities to continue the much-anticipated Festival of Trusteeship and will share further updates in due course. In the meantime, please visit our website for information on useful resources and contacts. gettingonboard.org/

ALT "Festival of Trusteeship 4-8 November 2024" reads bold writing on a blue fade to yellow background. In the top left corner of the rectangular graphic is a white circle with orange text 'Generously sponsored by' and the logo of ecclesiastical. On the right of the graphic is a firework-style icon made of orange and yellow lines.
National Park Authorities are not charities, but all boards benefit from a diversity of skills, knowledge, experience, and inclusive practice. In addition, NPAs work closely with many #charities.
