Board Advertising

An affordable advertising solution designed to help you build a board that reflects your mission and values. 

In today’s fast-changing world, purpose-driven organisations face the challenge of finding strong, values-aligned governance leaders. According to a 2024 NCVO report, 4 in 5 charities reported a board vacancy, with 85% of respondents finding it somewhat or very difficult to fill these critical roles. This gap underlines the urgent need for a targeted and effective recruitment advertising approach. 

When a full executive search process isn’t within your budget, our tailored recruitment advertising talent attraction package provides an effective alternative. 
 
Designed to attract a diverse and inclusive pool of board candidates, this solution is ideal for mission-driven organisations within the not-for-profit and for purpose sectors.  

This recruitment advertising service provides:

A 4-week client-branded advertising campaign optimised and account-managed. 

A comprehensive briefing call with client to gather essential information to inform the campaign.  

Fully branded advertising and promotion of your board vacancy across the Guardian, Charityjob and Diversifying.io, an inclusive network.

A 2-week social media advertising campaign across Meta (Facebook, Instagram) and LinkedIn. 

A targeted mailer matching key skills and relevant criteria directed to up to 1,000 registered candidates at all levels that have an interest in taking up a board position.

A fully account managed weekly campaign update on vacancy views, and redirects.

Direct applications sent to your inbox or website to meet the needs of your internal process. 

Pricing That Reflects Your Reality

We understand that charities come in all sizes, each with unique resources and challenges. That’s why our board advertising service uses a tiered pricing structure by annual income, ensuring accessible, professional recruitment support wherever you are in your journey.

Small organisations to large charities all deserve strong governance. Our pricing model means you’ll invest proportionately to your organisation’s scale, making expert-led board recruitment achievable, whether you’re a grassroots community group or an established national charity.

Every tier receives the same comprehensive service – the same quality campaign, the same dedicated account management, the same access to diverse talent pools. The only difference? The investment reflects what’s realistic for your organisation’s budget.

Fair Pricing, Tailored to You

  • Small (£10k – £100k)
  • Medium (£100k – £1m)
  • Large (£1m – £10m)

By removing cost as a barrier, we’re helping organisations of every size build boards that truly reflect their communities and strengthen their impact.

Benefits

Just to let you know that we have offered Trustee roles to three people, as well as a Treasurer. We are also inviting a candidate for Chair to meet the rest of the team. It has been an inspiring experience to meet a diverse range of people, all keen to support our network. I never expected to be sadly saying no to a couple of individuals, but delighted to be shortly working with more talented people than myself. Thanks so much to you and your team for your help and support.
