Essential Trustee workshop

NEW TRAINING ALERT!

Nobody becomes a Unitarian trustee because they love charity law.

Our brilliant volunteers step into governance because their congregation matters to them and someone needed to step up. Congregations tell us time after time that their trustees arrive in the role with the best of intentions, but have a slightly uncertain grasp of what the Charity Commission actually expects of them.

We're going to help with that.

The Essential Trustee is a full-day online workshop from the General Assembly, working through the Commission's trustee guidance in plain language, with time built in for questions and proper discussion.

We'll cover legal duties, conflicts of interest, financial responsibilities, what happens if things go wrong.

This one-day course will help trustees get on with running a healthy, vibrant congregation.

We have two dates, and you can register for whichever works. If you know a trustee in your congregation who'd find this useful, please pass it on.

This week's concert sees the return of Asuka Sumi, in the second instalment of her 3 concerts of Bach's partitas for solo violin, matched with other music from the same era. Asuka Sumi, a baroque violin specialist, returns to perform the Partia series in which she explores Bach’s monumental three unaccompanied partitas in tandem with works by his predecessors.

The programme will include Bach’s Partita No.2 in d minor (with Chaconne) and works by Nicola Matteis Jr., Thomas Baltzar, and Johan Joseph Vilsmayr. Take a look at her website here: https://asukasumi.com
