Course Content

Chris Spackman is Vice-Chair of DCA and a strong believer in people being recruited when they are young to serve on Trustees.

We asked Chris:

  • Why do you think young people should be involved as Trustees?
  • What sort of arrangements does an organisation need to have in place to get the best out of its young trustees?
  • What would your advice be for an organisation wanting to recruit young trustees?


Chris' take on these questions covered the benefits for both the young people and the organisation and what an organisation needs to think about before going down this route.

Subscription options

Charging policy

DCA is committed to producing as much affordable training as we can.  While some of the courses are charged-for, we offer subscription options to ensure that they are affordable (as above).  Our courses still remain some of the best value in the industry.

We will offer money-off  vouchers and special offers every month, so do look out for Academy news and promotions in our e-newsletters and at networking events.  Sponsored courses will be free of charge. 

You will receive a receipt upon purchasing this course, so don't forget to claim the course fee back from your organisation if you are able to do so.
