The Governance Hub, together with the Charity Commission and Volunteering England,
has launched a Get on Board trustee recruitment campaign.
The campaign aims to inform
people about trusteeship and to recruit a ‘new generation’ of trustees. It will 
also highlight the benefits enjoyed by people from within the volutary and community
sector who have become trustees.

Jolanta Lasota of the Governance Hub said: The voluntary and community sector is
crying out for people to enter their boardrooms as trustees to make decisions that
will shape the future of our society. We want to encourage charity employees to 
use the knowledge and skills they have learnt on the job and, in return, to gain
personal satisfaction, new experiences and enhanced skills.

She said that 93 per cent of charities have between one and five vacancies on their
boards.
