In their own words
Since June 2023 I’ve been a trustee with a Cardiff scouts group. I work alongside four other trustees in leading the group and ensuring it is running as efficiently as possible. I enjoy the position, and am grateful for the opportunity to make a difference.

Trustee, Cardiff scouts group
Being a non-executive director is incredibly fulfilling for me because it allows me to leverage my experience and insights to guide and support the organisation’s strategic direction without being involved in day-to-day operations.

Chair, Mid Wales Sports Partnership
I encourage all my staff to take time to serve on Boards. It really helps them to develop a wider view of organisational challenges, so when tough decisions are made in their workplace, they are more likely to react with understanding and empathy.

Chair, Community Energy Wales
Acting as a Trustee Board Member has taught me the value of the skills and experience I hold, and how to use this to help others in new environments. It feels like I am making a valuable contribution to a greater cause.
