Any sector is only as good as the people that inhabit it, and civil society boasts a diverse range of talent. According to the Charity Commission, the charity sector employs 754,411 full-time equivalent staff and uses the services of an estimated 2.2 million volunteers, including more than 842,000 trustees, though there are still 21,400 trustee positions unfilled.
