Organisations that share board members
Among the 212 largest charities here with trustee data, 46 are linked to at least one other through 33 shared board members. This shows how boards overlap, which is not the same as influence or control, and in small communities the same volunteers often serve more than one cause.

- The Lester Drive Centre and Eccleston Old People's Welfare Committee4 shared board members
- Ecclesiastical Charity of Thomas Lyon and Henry Bispham's Charity3 shared board members

Connections between organisations through shared board members describe how boards overlap. They are not evidence of influence, control or coordination, and many overlaps are ordinary in small communities. Only elected councillors are named. No addresses or other personal details are shown; organisation links point to existing public GovReg profiles.
