I am currently leading the recuitment for new trustees for Bath Cats and Dogs Home, RSPCA Bath and District branch.  We have used all the free advertising options available to us and the adverts have been live for nearly 6 weeks (10 days left to go).  So far we have no applicants.  I appreciate they may all come at the last minute but this role has been advertised earlier in the year with no success.  Therefore we will need to look at paid recruitment options, including Rach Volunteering, Trustees Unlimited and Nurole, as well as perhaps recruitment agencies for targetted search.  

 

I would love to get any perspectives on what has worked best for others recruiting Trustees please?

For background we are currently advertised with:

·       BCDH socials including LinkedIn 

·       Bath & North East Somerset Third Sector Group (NAVCA member) 

·       RSPCA 

·       ACDH 

·       Institute of Fundraising South West Enews
