Organising & Planning
We’re looking for people with good judgement, a collaborative mindset, and a commitment to community. Useful skills include finance, governance, HR, fundraising, grant writing, strategy, compliance, administration, and community-led work. Previous trustee experience is welcome but not essential.
Gain valuable experience in governance, strategy, and leadership while making a real difference in your community. Develop new skills, broaden your network, and contribute to meaningful work. Be part of a supportive team and help shape the future of a local organisation.
Totally manageable. One Trustee meeting a month, and one Strategy meeting every 3 months. Some light reading, and the occasional bit of thinking time in between. We’re respectful of people’s time and lives.
