I worked on our SLA with Watford Borough Council, and then travelled to Stevenage where I met with Chiltern Accountancy, a new county-wide charity offering accountancy and bookkeeping services to the voluntary sector. I wanted to see how they could add depth and value to the services we offer our members in Watford.

After this, I travelled even further afield to Chesterford in Essex for a meeting of the Trustees Together group. This is an important regional group trying to co-ordinate and improve the support provided to trustees across the East of England. For example, we are looking to use training materials developed in Suffolk to help establish a trustee support network in Watford – possibly in parallel with a similar initative in South Bedfordshire.
