At Russam, we are committed to strengthening leadership across sectors, including the charity sector. That’s why we proudly support the Step on Board programme, run by our partner firm Trustees Unlimited, which connects experienced professionals with meaningful trustee opportunities.

Step on Board empowers professionals to bring their skills, experience, and strategic insight to charities that need strong governance. By serving as a trustee, individuals help organisations navigate complex challenges, drive impact, and ensure sustainable growth. These roles are not only an opportunity to give back to the community but also a chance to develop new skills, expand professional networks, and gain fresh perspectives on leadership.

Recent appointments, such as Michael Scoular of EY joining Search Newcastle – services for older people CIO, highlight how senior professionals can make a tangible difference. Trusteeship offers the chance to influence strategy, support organisational development, and create real social impact.

Russam is proud to support initiatives like Step on Board, reinforcing the importance of collaboration between professional expertise and purpose-driven leadership.
