I want to · Reach

Who should I talk to, and who can introduce me?

See who sits on a board, where else they serve, and the recorded links between people and organisations.

I know which organisation I need to reach. I do not know who is on its board, or whether anyone I know already sits alongside them.

How it works

Step by step, on real recordsiEach example below is live from the public register, not a mock-up.

  1. 1

    Start from a board

    Every charity and company record lists the people on its board, with their role and the year they joined, straight from the official register.

    Open the board tab

    A national example that shows long-serving seats: no charity listed for Kettering fits this step.

    Registered charity - Wellington Street, ThameAffinity Trust

    Affinity Trust is a registered charity (number 1139891) based in Thame, governed by 8 trustees. Latest income £72m (2025).

    2 more people on this board.

  2. 2

    See where those people also sit

    The register follows each person onwards. These are the other boards that share at least one person with this one.

    Why it matters. A shared board member is the shortest formal link between two organisations.

    A national example that shows board members shared with other organisations: no charity listed for Kettering fits this step.

    People on this board also sit on these boards. Each link is a person recorded on both.

    Follow one person

    A person record brings together every role on the public record, across charities and companies, and counts the people they have served alongside.

    Find a route

    Two boards are linked when one person sits on both. Find a route does this from you, or from anyone, to the organisation you want to reach.

    Why it matters. A route shows who could make an introduction. Whether they will is up to them.

Why you can rely on it

Sources, matching and privacy

Official sources

Board and officer records from the Charity Commission, OSCR, the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland, Companies House and the Department for Education, with other public registers named on each record. Every fact shows its register and date.

How we handle data

Careful matching

Records are joined into one person only where our identity-matching rules support it. Confirmed relationships are supported by the approved evidence and rules. Likely relationships are shown with the label “Likely the same person”. Connections are calculated here and labelled as calculated.

Methodology

Private by default

Nobody is told you looked them up. Viewing, searching and saving are private. Near Me lists organisations only, never where people live, and nothing a person types becomes an official fact.
