Charity trustees find themselves in an increasingly complex and tightly regulated environment.

They are expected to keep up-to-date with the many changes to the legal framework for charities and understand what these entail.

Charles Russell's new three-hour training session for charity trustees is designed for newcomers, but is also suitable for anyone wanting a refresher course in the key areas.

The training is given by lawyers from Charles Russell with experience of advising many different charities on the legal and related issues faced by the sector as a whole.
