Nominations for NCVO’s trustee board

NCVO supports volunteering and charities. We believe that the work of volunteers and charities make our communities stronger and the world around us better, for everyone.

Our members are at the heart of our mission. We work collaboratively with our 17,000+ strong network of national and local charities and voluntary organisations. Member involvement in our work starts with our board of trustees, which includes member-elected trustees.

We need our members to identify outstanding individuals to join our board to help NCVO transform the way it works and make the biggest difference we can.

Good governance is a crucial ingredient to effective, impactful organisations, and that includes boards whose trustees have different backgrounds and experience. As part of our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion, NCVO wants to strengthen the board to better reflect the diversity of our society.  We will do this by seeking to elect trustees who bring different backgrounds, perspectives and lived experience as well as a range of skills.

This year we have one board vacancy coming up, with one trustee standing for re-election.

Is this you, or do you know someone who fits the bill and would make an outstanding trustee for NCVO Nominations will close on Friday 11 April 2025.
