what nobody tells you about being a trustee: 10 common myths busted!

May 20, 2026
10:00am- 11:00am

Presenters:

Steve Allman
Charity Coach & Facilitator
Steve Allman has spent 30 years in the charity sector - as a frontline worker, CEO, Trustee and Chair - so he knows what good governance looks and feels like from the inside. Since 2012 he's been freelance, coaching CEOs and Chairs and facilitating practical, hands-on workshops that help boards be more effective and make more impact. He's worked with 250+ charities along the way, and over 43,000 charity folk follow his daily musings on governance and trusteeship on LinkedIn - some a little more tongue-in-cheek than others!

Being a Trustee is a walk in the park... in the dead of night, with no torch, trying not to step in dog poo.

But it doesn't have to be. There are too many myths about trusteeship which make the role harder than it needs to be, or stop good people from becoming Trustees.

This session will bust 10 of the most common myths about being a Trustee, including:

  • It's only a couple of hours a month - yeah, right!
  • The role stops when the meeting stops - if it does, you're doing it wrong.
  • The Chair is the Final Boss - maybe if governance was a video game, but not in real life.

By the end of the session, you'll know what trusteeship actually involves, what it doesn't and how to have honest conversations about it - whether you're an experienced Trustee, recruiting Trustees or thinking about becoming one.
