Digital Trustees
(In Partnership with Third Sector Lab)
In today’s digital world, having trustees who understand technology, strategy, and online engagement is essential for long-term success.
The Digital Trustees initiative, led by Tech4Good South West in partnership with Third Sector Lab, helps charities and voluntary organisations strengthen their boards by adding digital expertise.
We connect charities with skilled digital professionals to help bridge knowledge gaps, strengthen governance, and drive positive social impact.
Could your board benefit from digital expertise? Or are you a tech company with skills to offer? Take part in our matchmaking process to find your perfect fit.
