Step on Board for Individuals

Each Step on Board programme is tailored to each client’s specific needs and goals.

This comprehensive and tailored programme provides information, skills-matching and coaching, whilst also enabling people to make a positive impact on the charities and causes they feel passionate about.

Initially centred around equipping people to become trustees by helping them to understand the charity landscape and the responsibilities of charity boards, participants move on to a one to one coaching and diagnostic session to identify their strengths, passions and priorities. 

This is followed by nine months of active search to help match candidates to the right opportunity.
