Online giving service The Big Give is now offering a trustee finder service for 
charities. Charities can use the service to upload an advert for a trustee which
will appear on both The Big Give and on job site reed.co.uk.

It is free until January 2014.

Adverts are displayed for six weeks. Reed.co.uk has also promoted the new feature
to its users.

On [The Big Give](http://www.thebiggive.org.uk) site, visitors can search for suitable
trustee positions and  apply quickly  through the site.

The first two charities to use the new service successfully are the African Mothers
Foundation Initiative (AMFI) and St Anne’s Trust have successfully recruited new
trustees and are extremely happy with the results. A spokesperson at the African
Mothers Foundation Initiative commented that the “Big Give not only helps to raise
funds, but also finds good trustees with the skills and knowledge to move the charity
forward.”

The new trustee for St Anne’s Trust commented that they had found the process very
straightforward, and that they were “amazed to find something on my doorstep”.
