getting on board
Helping aspiring trustees Getting on Board supports people to become charity
trustees, particularly those who are currently under-represented on trustee
boards. The aspiring trustees we support include young people, women, people of
colour, disabled people, LGBTQ+ people, working class people, and people with
lived experience of disenfranchisement. 62% of the top charities, by income, had
all white boards while 92% of trustees are white, older, and above average
income and education (Taken on Trust, Charity Commission 2017) We help bring new
perspectives to boards. Helping charities transform We help charities in their
mission to become more representative of the communities they serve by
recruiting and retaining trustees from a diversity of backgrounds and lived
experiences. This is fundamental because charities need access to the broadest
possible talent pool to function at the highest level. This is only possible
when diversity is enshrined in every aspect of the trustee recruitment and
retention process - not seen as a box ticking exercise that equates to lowering
the bar.
