Our last advert for a trustee with a specific skill / background ( surveyor / managing building projects ) , worked by an advert in the local monthly area newsletter. His wife saw it ! I think being specific as to what skill / experience you require helped – as previous general ones had no result. However, I also send it to local U3A , rotary and round table groups with no interest, but I suggest worth a try, as recently retired people tend to join these groups. , We are now seeking someone with a legal background , so fingers crossed it will work again. I’m also going to send to solicitors practices, hoping their receptionist might suggest someone ! I also feel a friendly approach works ie contact …..for an informal chat about the role , we are a friendly , supportive , experienced board etc Good luck – it’s not easy. ! Jo
