**The Charities Regulator in Ireland is hosting a series of regional events this
Autumn to meet charity trustees and those working and volunteering in the sector.**

“This is an opportunity for our staff to meet with those who dedicate their time
and energy to charitable work, and to highlight the support materials that are available
from the [Charities Regulator](http://www.charitiesregulator.ie), in particular 
those relating to the Charities Governance Code.

“It is also an opportunity for trustees, staff and volunteers of charities to meet
with peers and discuss common issues within the sector,” Charities Regulator Chief
Executive Helen Martin said.

Topics covered will include the Charities Governance Code, Charity Concerns, Roles
and Responsibilities of Charity Trustees and Advancing your Charitable Purpose. 
These presentations were developed in response to common issues identified by the
staff of the Charities Regulator in their work with charities.

Senior staff from the Regulator will be available on the night to answer questions
from the floor in the following locations:

 * Radisson Blu Hotel, Athlone on 26 September
 * The Tower Hotel, Waterford on 3 October
 * Mill Park Hotel, Donegal on 10 October
 * The Strand Hotel, Limerick on 24 October

Entry to the events is free but participants must register on the regulator’s website.

The Regulator says seating is limited so the events are strictly for trustees, staff
and volunteers working with charities.
