The Charity Commission and volunteer organisation TimeBank has targeted media professionals in a recruitment drive to attract more trustees.

The recruitment drive follows a research project by the commission revealing that almost half of the UK’s charities had problems recruiting members.

Recruiter Reed also estimates that 73% of employers would choose a candidate with voluntary experience over one without.

TimeBank is aiming to appeal to media workers who are seeking to broaden their horizons and professional experience. For more information, call 0845 601 4008.
