@JameskatyParker Aw Katy so lovely to hear from you, he can probably make it into the talk, it's first come first served so even if you haven't booked he could get a seat. But either way if he messages me in the app or on here, I'd love to say hi!

7 year old me had a wonderful time at the newly opened Eden Project in 2001, next week nearly 30 year old me will be speaking in the tropical biome at @AnthropyUK about the power of purpose-led businesses in solving the world's great problems. So chuffed! @ClarasysLtd

Day 16. I'll be honest, I'm praying Richard will go home soon. But I totally understand why he feels he can't. I admire his determination beyond words. Still, I'm hoping someone powerful will stand up and say: "It's OK Richard. We're on it. We'll take it from here."

Other feedback: 'It was most useful hearing first hand from both the young trustee and the organisations to understand how they have overcome challenges'

[Ruth Wilkinson @RuthWilkinson4]

'It made me think for the first time about the value a young Trustee might bring and to a Board' - It's amazing to read this feedback about the event @katelrxberts, @LauraButler2018 and I ran last week! Massive thanks to our amazing speakers @riannapatterson @pdpartnership! ⭐️

[Michael Winehouse @charitywinehous]

I’m onto my second trusteeship and it’s vital for all of us to change the reality and also the perception of who can do it. Organisations need our views and expertise. #thisiswhatatrusteelookslike using my pal Jake for smiley clout - he’s a trustee too.

[Ruth Wilkinson @RuthWilkinson4]

So proud to be at my 4th organisation after starting as a charity trustee aged 19, have learnt so much and the experience adds so much to my day job too! (The dog provides moral support and behind the scenes amusement) #ThisIsWhatATrusteeLooksLike

[Young Trustees Movement @YoungTrustees]

🪞 Being able to see yourself in a role matters.

A brilliant conversation about all things board diversity and @YoungTrustees with @pdpartnership and @riannapatterson this evening - thank you for sharing your insights with us and to @RuthWilkinson4 and @katelrxberts for facilitating!

Nearly every world leader at #COP26 is male.

The #patriarchy seems abstract until you realise that the future or humanity rests this week almost exclusively in the hands of men.
