Trustee Support Networks
There are a host of national and umbrella networks offering specific support to trustees, listed below are just a few:
Trustee Recruitment

Young Charity Trustees
Set up on LinkedIn, the idea behind it is to support young people who are already trustees and to encourage more to become trustees through sharing advice and information. Many young people currently don't even know it is possible for them to become trustees but it can be hugely beneficial both for them and for the organisation they choose to help. Visit the LinkedIn page or follow on Young Charity Trustees on twitter.
Network of Women Chairs
The purpose of Network of Women Chair (NWC) is to share experiences and learning through networking with fellow women chairs and vice chairs of trustees thereby improving charity governance. Find out more about the NWC and upcoming meetings on the Groundbreakers website.
