Diverse teams deliver transformative results.

But too many charities are missing out on tremendous talent and impact, because their boards simply aren’t diverse enough.
If you identify as a person of colour, read on to find out about an exciting new opportunity!
Did you know people of colour make up just 8% of trustees (even though they’re 14% of the population)? In the largest charities, that falls to just 6%. And women of colour make up a staggering 3% of trustees. Image

Becoming a charity trustee could change your life.

✅ Want to fast-forward your career by getting board-level experience?
✅ Expand your network?
✅ Gain impressive skills?
✅ Give back to the causes you love?

Trusteeship has something for everyone!

@OneYoungWorld
But lots of young people are worried it's not for them. They tell us:

"I'm in my twenties, how can I be a trustee?"

or

"I'm not a Director yet, why would a charity want me?"
But young people make INCREDIBLE trustees.

"I was 18 when I started my career as a trustee" says @LeonjWard.

Ten years on, he's had life-enhancing experiences as a charity trustee, boosting his career, network & community at the same time!

"I want to open the door for other people with my experiences to join a charity and make a real difference to people’s lives."

@anbreen_bi shares her powerful story of becoming a trustee for @fastn_org.

gettingonboard.org/post/i-want-to…
Anbreen was the first person in her family to go to university. And she didn't always feel like she fitted in:

"There weren’t many people of my background – working class, BAME, having grown up relying on benefits."

"But I had family and friends just a call away."
Anbreen's close connection with her family & friends shows the power of relationships to get us through tough times.
