Getting on Board Employer’s Membership Scheme launches
We're delighted to announce the launch of the Getting on Board Employer's Membership scheme.
We're working with employees like our founder partners King’s College London, Allen & Overy law firm, Peridot Partners recruitment, and M&G savings and investment business, and making trusteeship more accessible to more than 50,000 employees and students.
There are some 100,000 trustee vacancies at any one time in the UK, yet 75% of all charities struggle to find trustees.
Find out how the Getting on Board Membership Scheme can bring benefits to employees, organisation and the charity sector.
