New research by the Charity Commission has found that 8 out of 10 Trustees are likely or very likely to recommend the role to others. At a time when there are increased vacancies in Trustee positions across the sector, it offers optimism in the push to find new recruits.
The research has been part of an in-depth research into trusteeship, conducted in a collaborative project between the Charity Commission and Pro Bono Economics, which aims to better understand who trustees are, and what skills they bring to the role.
The findings coincide with Trustees’ Week, which is an annual celebration of the achievements of approximately 1 million trustees across the country. This recognises the time, commitment and effort all Trustees bring to lead and manage their respective charities.
