Trustees’ Week 2026: From Surviving to Thriving

As part of Trustees’ Week, join HCR Law and guest speakers from across the charity sector to explore how charities can build resilience, embrace opportunity and move from surviving to thriving.

The challenges facing charities continue to evolve. Trustees and senior leaders must navigate increased demand for services, financial pressures, changing regulation and greater governance responsibilities, while striving to maximise their impact on the communities they serve.

This event will bring together charity sector experts, funders and charity leaders to share practical insights and real-world experiences on:

• Governance and regulatory developments
• Risk management and strategic planning
• Financial resilience and accountability
• Best practice in grant-making and funding relationships
• Lessons from charity leaders on building sustainable organisations.

Designed for trustees, CEOs, charity leaders, finance and governance professionals, funders, volunteers and professional advisers, this session will provide practical insights to support your organisation’s future success.
