Our Interim Chair says, "I was an admirer and user of Action Hampshire’s services for many years as a CEO of a local charity, and for the last 6 years have been involved as an Action Hampshire Trustee. At a time when the voluntary and community sector, and the people they serve are under severe pressure, Action Hampshire’s promotion and support for a healthy, vibrant sector has never been more needed.
Trustees and staff share a vision of community-led action; the power of true partnership; the channelling of voluntary effort; and of public service defined by its values and directed at offering hope and practical support to the most vulnerable.
Our Trustees are diverse, focussed, clear about our role, supportive, deeply committed to the work of Action Hampshire, and very proud of our brilliant staff team.
We are a year into the delivery of our 3 year strategy, moving towards financial sustainability, a uniquely coherent identity, and a healthy and supportive staff culture in which people feel in control of their work; and we’re aiming to use all the benefits of technology to become more digitally smart, connected, informed, efficient and so even more effective.
If you share this vision, have the sort of leadership qualities we describe, and if, like us, you are inspired by Action Hampshire’s history and potential, we would love to hear from you."
We work collaboratively in support of strong, connected and equitable communities.
