We’re on a mission to help change lives and build healthy and resilient communities.
We do this by supporting and championing voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) organisations and providing a range of services, training and advice.
We also believe that everyone should have the opportunity to thrive and so we work with local partners to provide volunteering opportunities for all.
This is all made possible thanks to the support of our exceptional Board of Trustees, and we are currently looking for people who share our vision and passion to join them.
We are keen for our board members come from all walks of life, just like the communities we support, and welcome applications from those involved with the organisations we work with. We would also like to hear from people with a broad range of experience in human resources, legal work and fundraising.
Whilst previous experience of trusteeship is helpful, it’s not essential – if you understand the value of the local VCFSE sector and want to make a positive impact in your community, then we would love to hear from you!
You'll find further information about the position, who we're looking for and what it's like to be a member of our board in the Role Description and Recruitment Pack.
