InvolverSo, I just got back from the BETT (British Education and Training Technology) Exhibition. It was crazy with 1000’s of exhibitors and 10,000’s of visitors. It was impossible to see everything, but I did chat to some interesting people with fascinating products. Everyone was ‘welcoming me to the future’ and telling me to ‘Make IT better’.

There are nearly 900,000 trustees of registered charities and nearly as many members of community groups. Only around 0.5 per cent of these are under 25 years old. We need to do more to ensure that young people are involved in the governance of both the voluntary and statutory sector. But how can we do this effectively?
The Governance Hub has funded NCB to run two seminars with the aim of challenging some of the myths associated with involving young people in governance and leadership. NCB will deliver these seminars alongside The British Youth Council, 11 Million and the Charity Commission to participation officers in local authorities and leads in regional government offices and leaders of voluntary and community sector organisations. The scheme is supported by Participation Works. For more information please contact Paul Taylor at; ptaylor@ncb.org.uk 020 8348 604
Should we send someone?
