With Trustees’ Week running from November 7 to 13, three experts from The Family Law Company are keen to explain why they became trustees with local charities.
There are currently around 194,000 charities in the UK with just over 1 million trustees; just under half are women, and the average age of a trustee is 59 in England and Wales, although 86,000 are aged 16-34.
Donna Hart and Stephen Sowden, who are based in Exeter, and Ann Shears who works at the Plymouth office, have taken on the role of trustee with three very different charities.
