THE BENEFITS OF ACTING AS A TRUSTEE

The Charity Commission has published research into the benefits people experience from being a trustee. One of the primary takeaways from the research is the extent to which trustees benefit from their experience. Although trusteeship is a significant voluntary undertaking, the majority would recommend it to others (80%). Many trustees reported experiencing multiple and profound benefits, from feeling they are positively impacting the world (60%) to feeling more connected to a community or movement (65%), highlighting the rewards of responsibility. Overall, just 1% of the trustee population surveyed would not recommend the role to others. The full findings can be read  here.

Trustees are also resoundingly positive about their experience in post and we asked our own trustees why they offered to join the committee. The poster alongside shows their quotes. To download the poster for a closer read, just click on it.

DRY STONE WALL RESTORATION IN CAE NI

There are nearly 1000km of dry stone walls in the Wye Valley Area of Natural Beauty (AONB), including a stretch of a few hundred metres on the southern edge of Cae Ni. Recent volunteer sessions have continued the work of restoring our dry stone wall, which is now looking a great deal better and a couple more sessions should see the work completed. Everyone who has taken part has said it has been great fun and a really worthwhile exercise , protecting their local environment.

Everyone is welcome to future sessions, no experience necessary. If you would like to get involved, please email admin@devaudenhall.org to let us know.
