Online service to help charities find trustees

Charities struggling to recruit trustees are being invited to make use
of a new website that enables charities to post trustee vacancies and
helps potential board members find suitable roles.

Charity Trustee Networks has launched its Trusteefinder service.
People who want to serve as trustees can search the vacancies by
location, specify how far they are willing to travel and what type of
cause areas they are interested in.

Andrew Hind, chief executive of the Charity Commission, said: "This
will provide a valuable resource for charities and support them in
promoting their board vacancies to as wide an audience as possible. It
will also help them ito find the right trustees."

Karen Heenan, chief executive of CTN, said she hoped that the
initiative would help third sector organisations build effective
boards.
