If you have ever thought about giving something back to the local community but were not sure how, Richmond CVS's annual trustee recruitment evening might be the place to start. The free in-person event takes place on Wednesday 14 October 2026, from 5pm to 8pm, at Richmond and Hillcroft Adult Community College in central Richmond.
The evening connects prospective trustees directly with more than 30 local charities and not-for-profit organisations working across health, disability, arts, education, children's services, care and community support. Current trustees will be on hand to describe what the role actually involves day to day.
Trusteeship is a voluntary position that carries real responsibility — charities rely on their boards to provide strategic oversight and governance — but it is also a meaningful way to apply professional skills in a community setting. No previous experience of charity governance is required.
The event has grown year on year and is open to anyone curious about the role. Booking is open now; full details are on the Richmond Council news page.
