Episode notes
What should be the key skills in your toolbox to thrive as a trustee on a charity board?
Helen Boyd joins me to talk all about what charities look for in their trustees. Helen is Centre Manager of Smart Works Newcastle, a charity providing interview clothing and coaching to unemployed women across the north east. Helen has been with Smart Works for 6 years, after starting her “squiggle” career in retail, then recruitment and spending time working overseas. Prior to Smart Works, Helen worked for charities in London for 8 years before returning home to Newcastle and starting at Smart Works soon after.
As Chair of Smart Works Newcastle, I work closely with Helen and thought it would be great to get her perspective on what it takes to be a brilliant board member.
Tune in to find out how charities recruit trustees, how trustees can add value to charities, and how you can make the most of the opportunity.
