We are holding our annual Trustee Speed Matching event, in person at The Engine House Bexley, 2 Veridion Way, Erith, DA18 4AL, on Thursday 6th November from 6pm - 9pm as part of Trustees' Week 2025 (3rd - 7th November). We recommend that organisations arrive from 5:30pm to set up before the event starts.
PURPOSE:
Come and speak to potential new trustee's face to face to let them know what you do and why they should come and be a trustee for you. So, if you need new members on your board, this is the event to come along to!
You will be given around 5 minutes per volunteer (depending on numbers of volunteers). Each volunteer will rotate around the tables, so you will have an opportunity to speak to all of the volunteers and see if they could be a good fit for your organisation. This has previously been a very well attended event and many organisations have had great success recruiting new board members. Following the speed matching there will be an opportunity for further networking with potential trustees to explore conversations further.
AGENDA:
- Organisation arrival and setup: 5.30pm - 6.00pm
- Arrival & Welcome (Tea and Coffee): 6.00pm - 6.30pm
- Speed Matching: 6.30pm - 8.00pm
- Networking & Refreshments: 8.00pm - 9.00pm
PLEASE NOTE:
- Due to space limitations we will only be able to hold up to 15 organisations. We will therefore have a waiting list, if there are more requests to attend than places. We will notify you if you have been given a space.
- We recommend each organisation bring 2 representatives to aid conversation and note taking.
- Please can you ensure that your roles are up on our website in advance of the event - Volunteer Centre Bexley. If you need assistance with this, please do let us know. It would be great if you could prepare as much as possible in advance of the event. See here for helpful resources - For charitable bodies | Getting on Board.
- We will be offering light refreshments during the evening.
- If you have any questions please do get in touch. We look forward to seeing you there!
