NORFOLK PTS
UNDERSTANDING CHARITIES
Time:
6 - 8 PM
Whilst Parish and Town Councils aren’t charities themselves there is often considerable involvement in the charities that operate in the village or town. The Council can be custodian or sole managing trustee and often Councillors find themselves appointed as managing trustees on charities. Charities also play a vital role in the community and supporting them is crucial. This course looks at what a charity is, the role of trustees and the links between parish/town councils and charities.
This course is recommended for new and experienced clerks and councillors.
