• Increasing public confidence in an organisation by having a range of people represented on their board(s), which can encourage greater support from the public
• Diverse boards benefit from a greater range of skills and viewpoints which can result in increased flexibility, greater scrutiny and better informed decision making – a diverse board leads to more robust decision making
• Young trustees are often hungry to learn and make a difference – when given confidence, they may also ask the question others won’t

Bottom up approachDon’t start at board level –
opportunities to take leadership responsibility need to start earlier

Represent your membersSports governing bodies tend to be membership organisations – so give
the members representation to match its own make-up… age, gender,
ethnicity, disability

Why bother?It has to be important and relevant for
your organisation and not because it seems a ‘good’ thing to do
