Organisations interested in bringing younger voices into their governance can now access a helpful resource from the Young Trustees Movement.
The guide supports charities and community groups to understand the benefits of involving young people at board level and provides practical steps to help organisations recruit and support young trustees.

The resource is available via the Young Trustees Movement website:
Visit the Get Involved page and select “Download the checklist here”. You will be asked to provide your name and email address before accessing the guide.
Why it matters
Involving young people on trustee boards can:
-
Bring fresh perspectives and new ideas
-
Improve diversity and representation in decision-making
-
Strengthen future leadership within the voluntary sector
Organisations across West Lothian may find this resource useful if they are looking to refresh their board, improve governance, or make their leadership more inclusive.
