Who can become a trustee?

Almost anyone can be a trustee, regardless of age, level of professional experience, ethnicity, or any other protected characteristic.

Everyone has something that is worth offering a charity.

Lived experience – having experience of the issues a charity is trying to address – is particularly valuable. However, becoming a trustee doesn’t always seem accessible or achievable to everybody. Many charities recognise this and are working to remove the barriers to becoming a trustee.
