Trusteeship offers you a way to bring your passions to life and make a difference to a cause you care about. It can give you a greater sense of personal connection, purpose and fulfilment.
As a trustee, you directly shape organisations that tackle society’s biggest challenges—your decisions create lasting positive impact in your community. Trusteeship can help you:
- Bring your passions to life, use your skills to make a difference to a cause you care about
- Play a crucial role in the charity sector – help deliver a positive impact to those in need and across communities
- Develop skills in leadership, problem solving and decision making
- Expand your professional network and enhance your career prospects

Hear from Liz, a Benevolent Fund trustee…
Being a charity trustee is meaningful for me, knowing I am helping people when they need it most during a challenging time.
I’m able to apply my skills in different ways, I have planned fundraising events to boost our funds and have learnt a lot about the governance of a charity from my fellow trustees who have a fantastic skillset and share their knowledge with me.
I would encourage everyone to consider trusteeship. The right opportunity is out there for you, where you can use your skills and experience to give back. It’s so rewarding!
