Who We Are

Strengthening Governance in the Third Sector

TrusteeConnect supports third sector organisations to build boards with the right mix of skills, experience and diversity. We help Chairs and senior leaders of growing organisations recruit voluntary board members in a structured, reliable way - not through informal networks, but through a process that builds confidence, capability and continuity across your board.

We work with housing associations, social enterprises, national and local third sector organisations - offering a platform that makes recruitment defensible, traceable, and aligned with good governance practice.

For Third Sector Organisations & Voluntary Board Members

Connecting Board-Ready Professionals with Organisations That Need Them

TrusteeConnect brings together third sector organisations seeking skilled voluntary board members and experienced professionals looking to contribute at board level.

  • For third sector organisations: Search, connect with, and shortlist voluntary board members based on real governance needs. Promote board roles and demonstrate a structured, transparent recruitment process.
  • For voluntary board members: Register for free, showcase your professional experience, and find board-level opportunities where your skills can make a meaningful contribution.

This is not about filling vacancies - it’s about building boards that are fit for purpose.


Why Organisations Use TrusteeConnect

A Structured Approach to Board Recruitment

As organisations grow, informal approaches to board recruitment often become insufficient.

TrusteeConnect helps Chairs and senior leaders:

  • Identify and address current and future board skills gaps
  • Recruit voluntary board members with relevant professional experience
  • Evidence a transparent, defensible approach to recruitment
  • Reduce governance risk and reliance on personal networks
  • Build confidence in board composition and succession planning

TrusteeConnect supports organisations navigating increased scrutiny, complexity, and responsibility - helping ensure boards remain capable, balanced, and effective over time.
