Trustees’ Week 2025 | Celebrating Portsmouth’s Changemakers

10:00-11:00 @ Lower Ground Floor, Central Library

Trustees’ Week is held between 3rd – 7th November and is our chance to celebrate the incredible contribution of nearly one million trustees across the UK, people who give their time, energy and expertise to help charities flourish. Here in Portsmouth, we’re proud to recognise the difference our local trustees make every day to the life of our city.

As part of this nationwide celebration, Shaping Portsmouth and Hive Portsmouth are delighted to host a special Trustees’ Event – an inspiring opportunity to hear real stories from trustees’, ask questions to charities with trustee vacancies and discover how you can make an impact as a charity trustee.

Both organisations are leading a city-wide Trustee Recruitment Drive, supporting local charities to find passionate new trustees. Trustee vacancies have been shared across a wide range of organisations..

We’re looking for people from all walks of life to bring their skills, experience and enthusiasm to the sector. Join us…
