NHS Charities Conference 2026

Exceptional, values-led recruitment for NHS charity boards and leadership teams.

Peridot Partners works with NHS charities across the UK to build boards and leadership teams that can operate confidently alongside NHS Trusts while maintaining clear independence and strong governance.

We understand the realities of working in close partnership with NHS organisations while retaining independence over how funds are raised and allocated, including balancing donor expectations with clinical priorities and demonstrating impact in a highly visible environment.

We support organisations in strengthening governance, appointing leaders who can navigate complexity and building teams that can sustain and grow impact in the face of rising demand and scrutiny. Our work spans executive, board and interim appointments, helping NHS charities respond to immediate pressures while planning for the future.

We support NHS charities in:

• Appointing chairs and trustees who can balance independence with strong NHS partnership working
• Building boards that reflect the communities you serve, strengthening credibility and public confidence
• Appointing trustees who bring networks, influence and insight to support income and long-term sustainability
• Strengthening executive teams across fundraising, communications, operations and partnerships
• Appointing leaders who can navigate NHS relationships, funding pressures and increasing expectations around impact
