Online Recruitment - Charities need to use directors’ skills in new ways: "Charities need to use directors’ skills in new ways

04/01/2007
Charities must find new ways of using directors’ business skills to avoid wasting their talent.

According to a survey of the UK’s top directors, charities are struggling to use the voluntary business skills of directors. This is largely because of ‘hand to mouth’ funding, lack of project management capacity and the public perception that donations should go to a cause rather than on administration.

The survey was carried out by Directorbank among its register of 2,800 of the UK’s top directors in conjunction with Impetus Trust, a charity set up by the private equity industry. Clearly a subject that directors feel strongly about, 500 directors took part in the survey."
