Trustees’ Week 2020

 Thomas Pocklington Trust is celebrating Trustees’ Week (2-6 November).

 

 

 

 

 

 

A message from Thomas Pocklington Trust’s CEO

 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of our trustees for the contribution they make to the TPT board.  They each bring a wealth of experience to provide the leadership and strategic direction to our organisation for which we are incredibly grateful.

A message from Thomas Pocklington Trust’s Chair of Trustees

 

Our board of trustees provides governance and leadership. We work as a team to look after everything the charity does including its finances.

 

We are looking to recruit two new trustees with experience in specific areas.  Becoming a trustee, whether for TPT or another charity, is a great way to share your skills, experience and time with an organisation that is making a real difference to people’s lives. It’s also an opportunity to develop your leadership skills and create new connections.

In conversation with Mike Brace CBE DL

On 2 Nov 1960 Mike Brace picked up a firework concealed in a bottle which exploded in his face. In the ensuing 60 years he became a Paralympic skier and founded multiple sporting charities. We caught up with Mike during Trustee Week to hear about his life, work and trusteeships.
