Trustee recruitment

A new website has been published by Trustee Recruitment Cycle that provides guidance, tools and tips to help charities recruit trustees and improve diversity. Developed by Reach Volunteering, a charity that aims to match organisations with potential volunteers and trustees and in collaboration with the Association of Chairs, Small Charities Coalition and Getting on Board, it aims to support charities to recruit trustees in an effective and inclusive way.

As the name suggests, the site contains guidance on the complete process, from reflecting on a charity’s needs and the preparation stage, through the recruitment and appointment phases and finally to the evaluation of the process. It also includes tools on how to complete a skills audit, example trustee role descriptions, interview questions and a sample appointment letter.
