A networking and discussion group for young charity trustees (mainly under the age of 35, though anyone can join). Many young people think that being a trustee is not for them and lack the support structures or knowledge base to move into a trustee role. This means that a large chunk of the population is simply not getting involved, to the detriment of both organisations and young people who could benefit from the experience that being a trustee brings. There are other trustee groups on LinkedIn but few specifically for young trustees so this group is attempting to plug that gap.
This article explains the scale of the problem.

The organisation now also has a website, Facebook group and Twitter account. « less
