But each involves different things and comes with its own set of challenges. Wondering whether being a volunteer or trustee would suit you best? Here\u2019s how to work it out.\r\n\r\nCharity volunteer work in the broadest sense includes a wide range of roles. For example, it could mean working in a shop or a service centre, supporting service users or helping to fundraise.\r\n\r\nBeing a trustee is a more specific type of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/careeradvice\/11-brilliant-benefits-of-volunteering\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">volunteering<\/a>. Trustees are a charity\u2019s decision makers, and have final responsibility for its success or failure, although their role varies depending on the size and complexity of the organisation.\r\n\r\nDetermining whether a trustee or broader volunteer role is best for you depends on what you\u2019d like to give and what you\u2019re hoping to gain from the experience.\r\n\r\n[button text=\"Explore your options\" url=\" https:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/volunteer-jobs\" style=\"yellow\" size=\"large\" align=\"center\" new_window=\u201d1\u2033]\r\n\r\n&nbsp;"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"Operation vs strategy","content":"<h2><strong>Operation vs strategy<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<strong>Volunteering might be best for you if... <\/strong>you love getting involved in the nuts and bolts of an operation. If you see yourself packing up food parcels in a food bank or supporting the admin and answering phones in a charity office, then volunteering is a great match for your skills and enthusiasm. Volunteer roles are often hands-on, customer or service user-facing and operational.\r\n\r\n<strong>Being a trustee might be best for you if... <\/strong>you want to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/careeradvice\/how-to-be-strategic-at-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> make a strategic difference<\/a> to how a charity operates. If you envisage advising a charity on how to manage their property portfolio, or whether it\u2019s best to open a new service centre now or next year, or how to address a fundraising challenge then becoming a trustee could be your perfect opportunity.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone wp-image-12286 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/careeradvice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/volunteering-with-dogs-charityjob-interactive-aid-map.jpg\" alt=\"volunteer outside dog kennel\" width=\"975\" height=\"515\" \/>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"Purpose and passion","content":"<h2><strong>Purpose and passion<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<strong>Volunteering might be best for you if... <\/strong>you\u2019re passionate about helping people or giving back to society generally.

This will give you an overview of various different volunteering roles that \u00a0you could get involved with.\r\n\r\n<strong>Being a trustee might be best for you if... <\/strong>you have a burning passion for a particular cause. Being driven by a specific purpose may mean you\u2019re already equipped with valuable expertise and experience.

Choosing a charity that can offer you different slots on a rota, or ad hoc tasks will give you a greater degree of flexibility.\r\n\r\n<strong>Being a trustee might be best for you if... <\/strong>you know you can commit a regular chunk of time to the role. How much time you need to be a trustee differs between organisations. However, the majority of charities will ask trustees to commit to attending between four and six regular board meetings a year. You\u2019ll need time to read board papers beforehand, and possibly also for strategy away days and subcommittees. A rough guide is around 30 hours a year.\r\n\r\nA charity that values diversity will make sure that meetings are at times that are accessible to their trustees whatever their circumstances. So always ask at interview stage how they\u2019re able to accommodate your personal situation, like your working week or caring responsibilities. However, you\u2019ll need to make a regular time commitment in return.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10661\" src=\"https:\/\/charityjob.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/management-meeting-non-profit.jpg\" alt=\"management meeting non-profit\" width=\"975\" height=\"515\" \/>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"Are you a generalist or specialist?","content":"<h2><strong>Are you a generalist or specialist? <\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<strong>Volunteering might be better for you if... <\/strong>you like to dip in and out of various activities.\r\n\r\nIf you\u2019re brilliant at turning your hand to anything and are happy to get stuck in wherever the need is greatest, then choosing to offer your time and expertise to a charity that manages a big pool of volunteers could be the perfect match. It\u2019s also a great way to find out what you\u2019re passionate about and which skills you enjoy using most if you\u2019re planning to become a trustee in the future.\r\n\r\n<strong>Being a trustee might be better for you if... <\/strong>you want to commit to using your existing skills or gain particular skills in a specific area. Charities will often recruit people who have specialist skills and experience that their current board of trustees lacks. This could include someone who has experience of using the services they provide, or a person with digital transformation or fundraising skills, for example.\r\n\r\nThere are some basic skills that are essential for a trustee to have, but don\u2019t let that hold you back from applying! A well-run charity should train a first-time trustee in essential knowledge like charity governance or basic finance, so always ask about this at the interview stage."},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"Browse opportunities","content":"<h2><strong>Ready to browse opportunities?\r\n<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nThere are lots of incredible <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/volunteer-jobs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">volunteer<\/a>\u00a0and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/volunteer-jobs?keywords=trustee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trustee<\/a> roles available on CharityJob today.
