Join us for our Commissioner Overnight!

A programme designed to support you in your role as a commissioner, time for you to relax and socialize, be inspired by great speakers and get a sneak peak at the New Recruitment Campaign.

The weekend will be packed full of useful ideas and practical support to help you feel more confident in your role. With interactive workshops and relaxed discussions, we'll explore what being a commissioner really involves - how to share the load, plan for the future, and how to make handovers a breeze! Chat with other Commissioners, swap ideas, and pick up tools to make things run more smoothly.

Whether you've been a Commissioner for a while, are just starting out, or even just curious about the role of a Commissioner - we'd love you to join us!
