Trustees play a crucial role for any charity. Your success depends on the skills they bring and the way in which they govern your organisation.

Kingston Bereavement Service: Trustee brings new evaluation skills

Kingston Bereavement Services  were looking for a new Trustee with professional skills and TrusteeWorks was able to quickly find a suitable candidate  who is now helping them evaluate and monitor their service. Kingston Bereavement Service manager Sheila Nardone said:
