- Ensuring it is effectively and properly run with legal and other obligations met and being accountable to those with an interest or ‘stake’ in the charity.

As well as different skillsets, there are three defined roles on the board: Chair, Finance Lead and Fundraising Lead, and three Trustees chair the sub-committees (they may be the same people who undertake the defined roles).
As the Finance Lead, you will oversee the charity's finances to ensure regulatory and legal responsibilities are met and comply with charity accounting practice and returns.
This is a voluntary role, but we can pay Trustees’ expenses. The time commitment for all Trustees is approximately 22 hours per year (under 2 hours per month).

In addition, we strive to be a board more representative of the diversity of the communities we serve and as such we warmly and actively welcome those with lived experience of the asylum or refugee resettlement process to apply. To be more representative of gender and ethnic diversity more broadly, we would also welcome applicants from the Global Majority and male applicants.
We are an extremely supportive team and, as you will see reflected in our person specification, your commitment and capability are more important than a long list of experiences and qualifications. You do not have to have experience of being on a board; we can support you with training in your responsibilities. If you have any learning differences or styles that will require adjustments during this learning process, we will be happy to discuss and support your needs.

A volunteering opportunity to make a difference to the community.
Stratford upon Avon Town Trust is a place-based charity. We support people who live, work or study in the town. Guided by our values, we do this through the grants that we award to charities and voluntary organisations, and also through our valuable community assets like our community hub, the bandstand, Stratford-upon-Avon Local Nature Reserve, Rowley Fields, the Community Orchard and the Guild Chapel.
Our Board of Trustees plays an essential role in the success of the charity, and is responsible for its strategic direction, governance and financial accountability, and we are now looking for a new Trustee to join our board. To be eligible you must live in the town.
The role offers an opportunity to contribute to supporting our vision of creating a vibrant and connected community in Stratford-upon-Avon. We welcome applications from members of diverse communities or backgrounds, including young people, and those who bring lived experience or knowledge of activities undertaken in the programmes we fund. You would be joining the Trust at an exciting time as we embark on our next five-year strategic plan.
You don’t need to have been a Trustee before, hold specific qualifications, or have experience working in the charitable sector. You will be passionate about supporting the local community and understand the issues that affect them. We are especially keen to hear from people who can guide the Trust in setting our environmental objectives or those who provide a voice for underrepresented groups and are passionate about tackling inequality.
This is a voluntary position, and you would be expected to attend around 12 two-hour board or committee meetings per year with reading and preparation in advance.
We are committed to working flexibly and we value the time given by our volunteer trustees. As much as possible we will try to accommodate work and family life when arranging the times of our meetings. The appointment runs until 31st May 2028.
If you would like an informal chat please pop along to our Community Hub on Wednesday 23rd or 30th July. We will be there between 10am and 4pm.
Or to apply, send an email including your address and outlining why you are interested and what you would bring to the role.
Closing date for applications: Sunday 10 August 2025. Interviews will take place on Monday 1st September
