What will you be doing?

We are seeking to grow our Board of Trustees to ensure that we have the skills and knowledge to help the charity develop as we celebrate our 25th anniversary. We are keen to diversify our Board to reflect the communities we work in and also bring a broader range of skills and experience to add to the mix of experience we currently have. No previous experience as a Trustee is necessary as training and support will be offered to successful candidates. We are interested in bringing in a broad range of experience, but in particular we would value skills and experience with safeguarding, data protection, fundraising, marketing and PR, and strategic leadership – however, Trustees with any experience and skills are welcome to apply. About the role The Trustees meet every two months on a Monday (2-4pm), with a small amount of preparation and followup between meetings. Whilst we would of course welcome somebody with previous Trustee experience, this is potentially a great opportunity for somebody who hasn’t been a Trustee before as our board is currently a mix of longer-serving, experienced, Trustees who can help to support you as a new Trustee, alongside newer Trustees, so you wouldn’t be the only new person.
