Highlighting the need for strong trusteeship

Strong, committed and skilled board members are vital to the success of voluntary and community groups, yet a recent study found 74% of charities find it hard to recruit trustees.

In support of Trustees' Week 2017, MVDA and RCVDA are campaigning locally for the recruitment of new trustees to strengthen VCOs across South Tees. In support of this agenda, we are asking organisations to share with us their vacancies and highlight current skills/ knowledge gaps within their existing boards or management committees. We will use this information to inform our planning of activities throughout Trustees' Week and hope to produce and distribute a brochure of vacancies; for local professionals to consider trusteeship.
