What is Trustee Speed-Recruiting
Trustee Speed-Recruiting is a fast and fun way for charities and potential trustees to meet in one evening.

How it works
We invite along a group of skilled professionals to meet a selection of our small charities with vacancies on their trustee boards.
Each pair speaks for 5 minutes until all of the potential trustees have had the chance to meet all of the charities.
Each charity and potential trustee is given a 'match card' where they note the individuals/ charities they are interested in. If both parties are interested, we exchange their contact details after the event.

Criteria
Please only apply to these events if your charity is based in a London borough.
Aside from location, we have no strict criteria for the application process, we are simply looking for charities to show self-awareness, and give a clear picture of their current situation and what they are looking for in a trustee.
