An article from the Guardian's Voluntary Sector Network describes how social media is a highly effective way for charities to engage with supporters. From a trusteeship perspective, channels like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn could hugely widen your recruitment pool, as well as enabling you to immediately engage with supporters and interested parties.
With 80% of 18 to 24-year-olds and 73% of 25 to 34-year-olds using Facebook and Twitter respectively, social media provides a key opportunity to widen your audience. Get involved!
Trustees are the people in charge of a charity. They play a vital role, volunteering their time and working together to make important decisions about the charity's work. Trustees' Week is an annual event to showcase the great work that trustees do and highlight opportunities for people from all walks of life to get involved and make a difference. Trustees’ Week 2015 is 2–8 November, and is being officially launched at the NCVO / BWB Trustee Conference on 2 November 2015.
