Virtual Volunteer Trustee Recruitment Session (Potential Volunteer Trustee Bookings)

Cumbria CVS is hosting a Get on Board and Become a Volunteer Trustee Virtual Volunteer Trustee Recruitment Session on Thursday 6 November 2025 from 6.30pm-8pm online via zoom. This event is part of Trustees’ Week 2025 to support organisations in Cumbria looking to recruit new trustees.

By attending the event potential new trustees will find out more about what a trustee and board member is, the roles and responsibilities of trustees, skills and qualities needed to be a trustee, the range of trustee volunteering opportunities available, when and where volunteers are needed, training and support provided and how individuals can register and apply to become a Volunteer Trustee. Organisations looking to recruit volunteers will also be attending.

8 organisations will be attending to talk about the work of their organisation and their trustee roles across Cumbria.

We ask in advance of the session for potential new trustees to register on the Volunteering in Cumbria Portal (https://volunteering.cumbriacvs.org.uk), specifying their area of interest as  a trustee. Please book by 27 October where confirmation and joining details will be sent.
