Trustee Recruitment

About Trustee Recruitment

Trustees play a vital role in the effective running of a charity, organisation or group. You generally need at least three trustee members for your board.
Due to high demand and the importance of the role, recruiting trustees can be challenging. Advertising your trustee role through Doing Good Leeds is a free and effective way to reach a broad range of potential candidates. You can find a guide to uploading your trustee role to the website below, as well as guidance on writing an effective trustee role description.

Resources for Volunteer Managers Toolkits, Guides and Top Tips

Network members with support from the Volunteer Centre Leeds team create and share a range of useful guides and resources to shape best practice in the city.

One of the key resources we have is the Volunteer Handbook which many organisations have adopted for use in their volunteer induction. It’s freely available to download along with many more toolkits and resources you can use.
Volunteer booklet pages show people collaborating; key topics: volunteering, Rebecca’s story, and tips for new Leeds volunteers.
