BOARD ANALYSIS


In interviews, hub leaders and chairs were not able to give exact ages of board members (which indicates a lack of internal board monitoring) so we calculated the ages of the 41 board members registered with Companies House (in July 2021) using their date of birth.52 The average age of trustees in the UK is 55-64 years old and 53% of Arts Council England ~ACEZN}voP}}o]}OPv]}v~NPOZ trustees are over 50. From our sample of 10 C}v`oor}Pv]}vUA9}( board members are over 50 years old, that’s æA9u}RvRCENPO A .PXA9}( the Cornwall sample trustees are 66 years old or over - up to 85, the age of the oldest trustee/ director registered with Companies House. We found that the majority of those who make decisions about the future, the vision v`}l}(}Pv]}vURU are in stark contrast with the ACE 2021 data on arts audiences.53

Board analysis: Age profile For example, 41% of visual arts audiences in England and Cornwall are 34 years old and under, but only 4% of trustees of our 10 sample boards are under 30. The youngest Cornwall-based trustee registered with Companies House is 28 years old. This is certainly not just a problem in Cornwall – only 9% of trustees on Arts Council England funded NPO boards are younger than 34. ‘Despite making up 12 per cent of the UK’s }o}vUr˙r}o}v(}o than 0.5 per cent of all charity trustees.
