CharitEpulse: Trustees wanted – Are expectations being set too high?
In our latest episode of CharitEpulse, our chatters James Saunders, Charles Mesquita and Catherine Rustomji come together for a wide‑ranging conversation on the pressures and priorities shaping the charity sector today and take a closer look at the role of a trustee.
In this episode, the trio discuss:
- The scale of the charity sector: headline figures that underline the importance of charities and trustees across the UK.
- The Charity Commission’s powers: its role in tackling extremism and whether further powers are needed.
- The voice of small charities: concerns that smaller organisations are being overlooked in government debates.
- Trustee recruitment and training: informal appointment practices and whether greater structure is realistic for voluntary roles.
The podcast is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music and YouTube.
