Volunteer volunteer roles in City of london, england
Are you keen to make Lambeth a better place for Deaf and Disabled people – inclusive, fair and just?
dasl (Disability Advice Service Lambeth) is looking for new Trustees.
We want to recruit up to 6 new members to our Trustee Board to shape our organisation as it evolves.
As well as being Deaf or Disabled people – having an impairment or a long-term health condition – we want trustees that reflect our Disabled community in Lambeth, with a diverse range of identities and lived experiences. If you are an individual from a Global Majority community (Black, Brown, Asian or mixed heritage backgrounds) your cultural expertise will be welcomed and could be transformative to our organisation.
If you are keen to work with other local Deaf and Disabled people to push for change, we would love to hear from you.
We are especially keen to recruit people with experience and skills in one or more of the following:
· Finance
· Influencing, campaigning or speaking up
· Previous experience as a trustee
