THE BENEFITS OF ACTING AS A TRUSTEE
The Charity Commission has published research into the benefits people experience from being a trustee. One of the primary takeaways from the research is the extent to which trustees benefit from their experience. Although trusteeship is a significant voluntary undertaking, the majority would recommend it to others (80%). Many trustees reported experiencing multiple and profound benefits, from feeling they are positively impacting the world (60%) to feeling more connected to a community or movement (65%), highlighting the rewards of responsibility. Overall, just 1% of the trustee population surveyed would not recommend the role to others. The full findings can be read here.
Trustees are also resoundingly positive about their experience in post and we asked our own trustees why they offered to join the committee. The poster alongside shows their quotes. To download the poster for a closer read, just click on it.
