Powys Trustee Network - Trusted Voices

Whether you are a Trustee of a Charity, the director of a not for profit company or Community Interest Company, or simply a management committee member of a non-incorporated community group, you will be aware of your responsibility for ensuring the good governance and sustainability of your organisation.

There is a plethora of sources of advice and guidance available to help steer you in the management of your organisation - so much so, that it can be difficult seeing the wood for the trees, let alone being able to absorb and assimilate the information available to the needs of your organisation. Though PAVO Development Officers can help here, by streamlining the process of finding information and helping to explain how it fits the context of your organisation, resources are limited and Powys is huge.

There are around 789 voluntary organisations in Powys, and over 4,000 people performing management functions. This suggests that there is a great deal of accumulated experience available in the county that could be used shared and exchanged. But in a county so large, the networking required to facilitate the exchange of that knowledge needs to embrace modern technology.

The Powys Trustee Network aim is to bring the voluntary sector in Powys together online.
