Future Board Leaders (FBL) is a programme co-designed by Boardmatch and The Leadership Academy which aims to bring new and diverse voices to Irish Charity Boards.
In 2023 they found a group of 22 people from all walks of Irish life who had limited or no Charity Board Experience. Successful applicants were provided with Director training and were matched with Charity Boards based on their interests outlined. Charities who were interested in diversifying their membership were recruited to meet with candidates and when a successful appointment was made, the Charity helped provide additional support to new trustees in their role.
Following on the success of 2023, 2024 and 2025, they continue to receive positive feedback from those who completed the programme and more expressions of interest from candidates that we are excited to run the programme again in 2026.
