Trustees’ Week 2026

Today marks the start of Trustees’ Week (9-13 November) and ELBA would like to thank the wonderful volunteers that give their time to volunteer as trustees, playing a crucial role in the governance of community organisations.

Since 2017, ELBA’s BoardBuilders programme has placed almost 400 individuals as board members at over 150 community organisations.

BoardBuilders connects local community organisations who are recruiting board members with business professionals who are looking to become trustees and facilitates volunteers to then join the boards of participating charities.

For community organisations, ELBA’s BoardMatch events are great opportunities to reach a diverse pool of candidates and to recruit highly skilled, motivated professionals to join their boards. For employee volunteers, it is an opportunity to meet a range of local charities with trustee vacancies and learn more about the role of being a trustee.

Check out some of our BoardBuilders case studies here.

If you are a community partner looking for trustees or a company wanting to engage its employees in trustee positions, get in touch and find out more about ELBA’s BoardBuilders programme and upcoming BoardMatch event in March 2027. Contact [email protected].
