Less than 3% of charity trustees are under 30. Less than 8% of charity trustees are from Black and Asian Backgrounds. Only 13% of the UK’s largest 500 charities have gender parity on their boards. We know that diverse boards make better decisions. But the reality is charity boards are still woefully behind the private sector when it comes to EDI. We are working hard on this at Digital Trustees but we still have a long way to go. If you're interested in learning more make sure you follow Action for Trustee Racial Diversity UK, UKBlackTech, Getting On Board, Young Trustees Movement and Inclusive Boards. Is your trustee recruitment working towards a more diverse board? What needs to change?
