Recruiting and Retaining Trustees

The National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) recently published a survey of the voluntary sector, Understanding Trustee Recruitment and Retention Challenges. Several problems were highlighted, most of which will chime with us in the Bailiwick, but many are within the grasp of charities to address.

Voluntary Sector Manifesto – Election 2025

As part of our ongoing efforts to amplify the voices of the voluntary sector, we are developing a campaign plan for the election that includes a Voluntary Sector Manifesto to send to political candidates. 

Join us at Les Cotils on 29th January 5.30pm -7.30pm

This manifesto will outline the key issues and priorities that matter most to charities like yours, ensuring that the voices of those who work tirelessly to support our communities are heard loud and clear.

This is your chance to:

•Provide input on the issues that matter most to your organisation and beneficiaries.

•Understand the election process and the opportunities it provides for Voluntary Sector organisations to be heard.

•Help craft a manifesto that reflects the needs and aspirations of the voluntary sector.

•Create a joint campaign plan to ensure that political candidates understand the critical role charities play in our community.

•Influence policy decisions that affect the future of your work and the community you serve

We value your expertise and input and believe that together we can create a strong, unified voice for the third sector. Your participation will help ensure that our priorities are clearly communicated to those standing for election.
