We are looking for someone to volunteer their time to being a Clerk for our small charity supporting children in the one of the poorest places on the planet to exit extreme poverty.
What will you be doing
As a key part of the governance of the charity, the commitment and energy you can bring to our Board will make a key difference to the charity and the children we support.
You will work closely with the Board of Trustees, especially the Secretary and Chair of the Trustees to help support our charity’s mission, in particular:

What difference will you make
The Board of Trustees is responsible for the governance and strategic direction of the charity. An effective support mechanism is very important to ensure that the Board is able to deliver on its key objectives.

However, Chaffinch has scope to make a very real difference to the children of Kibera through our work empowering local people. Finding the right volunteer could mean the difference between a charity that helps a few young people and a charity that generates real opportunity and hope for children to build successful lives for themselves and future generations.
