Trustee Recruitment for Small Organisations

This resource has been designed to help you find, recruit, induct and keep trustees. It has been developed with small voluntary and community organisations (VCO’s) in mind. Trustee recruitment can be challenging for small organisations that have limited resources.

It has been produced by National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) in partnership with National Association for Voluntary and Community Action (NAVCA), Community Matters and the Community Sector Coalition (CSC)

For the purposes of this resource 'trustee recruitment' also refers to the recruitment of management committee members, members of the committee, council members, and executive committee members. No matter what title your organisation gives them, this resource is intended to help you recruit new members of the governing body.

The resource is split into six sections. These sections can be used independently but work well as a whole process.

Sections include:

1. Are you ready to recruit?
2. Who are you looking for?
3. Attracting new trustees
4. Selection and appointment of new trustees
5. How to welcome your new trustees
6. What next?
