And who wouldn’t! Being a trustee is a great way to share and develop your skills, support a cause you care about and make a real difference.

If you are looking for roles, you can register your skills, areas of interest and any preferred causes to access trustee vacancies by creating an account with us. Take a look at the many trustee opportunities listed on this site.
