It’s Trustees’ Week: 9-13 November 2026
Trustees’ Week takes place every year. It aims to showcase the great work trustees do!
Trustees are the people in charge of a charity. They play a very important role, volunteering their time and working together to make important decisions about a charity’s work.

We aim to be a user-led organisation where the people we support make decisions at all levels of Grace Eyre.
To help achieve this, we have been working toward a target of 50% of our trustees having lived experience of a learning disability and/or autism.
Our new trustees take us even closer to this, with over 45% of our board now bringing invaluable lived experience
We are proud to offer trustees with a learning disability and/or who are autistic additional support in the following ways:
- Briefings
- Training
- Jargon buster cards
- Buddy system
