Trustee Buddy Scheme

At TrusteeConnect, we believe recruitment is just the start. That’s why we offer ongoing support to help new and existing board members succeed in their roles - with confidence and clarity.

Our buddy scheme is designed to strengthen boards across the third sector by building the knowledge, skills, and networks of those who serve.


Board Member Buddy Scheme

Our buddy scheme connects new board members with an experienced board member from another organisation who can:

  • Share practical tips and personal insights
  • Offer reassurance and a listening ear
  • Help you navigate your first few meetings
  • Introduce you to broader third sector networks

This informal, peer-to-peer support is a great way to settle in, build confidence, and feel connected.
