During the run up to National Trustees Week, Glamorgan Voluntary Services (GVS) is hosting the first ever Vale of Glamorgan Governance Conference on Wednesday, 8th November 2017 from 10.30am to 1pm at the Bear Hotel, Cowbridge, CF71 7AF, Vale of Glamorgan. The cost for attendance is £12.00 per person including light refreshments. There is adequate car parking in the Town Hall Car Park near the Bear Hotel.

Speakers include Sir Stephen Wall, the UK’s former Permanent Representative to the European Union and Chair and Trustee of the Kaleidoscope Trust and Dr. Mair Rigby, Governance and Safeguarding Manager with Wales Council for Voluntary Action. Sir Stephen will be speaking about the challenges for Trustees and the Third Sector in a post Brexit Britain. He will also touch on the broader challenges of Brexit in terms of its likely economic and policy impact.

Operating in the third sector delivers many challenges. In addition to the responsibility of adhering to numerous legal requirements, organisations need to be accountable, transparent and are constantly under public scrutiny and it’s all too easy to get lost along the way.

Aimed at Trustees, Management Committee Members, those who support them and those with an interest in the Civil Society Sector , this conference will provide a range of information from experts and identify sources of support for organisations to stay on the right track.
