Becoming a Trustee is one of the most powerful ways you can contribute to your local community whilst utilising and building a wealth of skills. As independent charities, local Home-Starts require Trustees to serve on their governing body (board), taking responsibility for directing the management of the organisation and leading on strategy. It is a fantastic opportunity to support your community whilst also developing your skillset in the workplace.
Our Board of Trustees meet 6 times a year with the additional opportunity to join or lead sub-committees for finance, strategy and fundraising. We ask for a commitment of approximately 10 hours per month and training will be provided.
We are seeking individuals with experience or knowledge in any of the following areas:
• Publicity and marketing
• Fundraising/grant applications
• Human Resources and change management
• Finance
• General leadership and strategy
We wish to appoint 2-3 additional Trustees to our Board including a Vice-Chair.
So if you are interested in making a real difference in your community whilst developing your own skills, then please get in touch:
