Southwark Trustee Network

Trustees Network

We support the Southwark Trustee Network which is run by trustees for trustees. The aim of the Network is to provide better support, learning and development opportunities for trustees of organisations so that they can fulfil their roles. The evolving network will aim to respond to the support needs through meetings, training seminars, web-based resources, e-forums and info bulletin.
