We’re excited to be able to bring a network meeting out into the community of Staynor.

As part of the session, we will be introduced to Staynor Hall Community Centre, hearing more about their journey up to this point as well as their plans for this year and next.

Responding to your on-going challenges, we will be sharing examples of good practice when it comes to trustee recruitment and induction processes.

Taking part in various interactive activities, you will leave with greater knowledge of how to write a role description and gain new tools to help boost your marketing plans.

A thorough induction is crucial to help retain your new trustees, so we will look at what is required as a minimum as well as how best to administer the induction process.

You will also be introduced to our Age Friendly Network, with our coordinator talking about how the network can help older people in our communities share information and individual views on the topics that matter.

This network meeting is for community building and village hall trustees across North, South and West Yorkshire, providing the opportunity to network and share information, advice, tips and thoughts on all aspects of running a hall.

All attendees will receive a copy of the presentations and notes from the session.

Tea, coffee and a light lunch will be provided.
