Greater Manchester Trustees Network
The Greater Manchester Trustees Network is for people who are trustees or committee members of voluntary and community organisations that work in Greater Manchester.
The main purpose of the Network is to support trustees through the provision of information on policy and good practice, relevant events, training and resources. The methods used to channel information are an e-bulletin and links posted on this web page.
Meetings of Network members to raise and discuss issues and concerns relating to trusteeship and governance in the voluntary sector are also held occasionally.
If you are a trustee of a voluntary or community organisation in Greater Manchester and would like to join the Network, please contact: David Sutcliffe, 0161 277 1011, david.sutcliffe@gmcvo.org.uk
