Two thirds of trustees are aged over 50 (Taken on Trust research, 2017). This is particularly problematic for charities which work with children and young people but whose trustees haven’t been able to call themselves “young” for some decades.
Join the Young Trustees Movement and Getting on Board to discuss the barriers and enablers to involving young people in trusteeship.
Hear what younger leaders, and those working alongside them, have learned from their work on embedding young trustees in London charities.

Please only book a ticket if you intend to join the session live. We’d totally recommend subscribing to our YouTube channel so you can be kept up to date with all the new uploads.
- If the session uses slides, we will send these to all who have booked a ticket following the session. Our panel sessions don’t use slides. If having the slides prior to the session will make it more accessible for you, please email info@gettingonboard.org and we will gladly send them to you.
- As an attendee, you can enable closed captions during the session. For panels, we ‘spotlight’ panelists so the view stays consistently on those speaking.
