Trustee Opportunities

The organisation is seeking individuals who can contribute to its mission and help ensure effective governance and strategic oversight.

If the Trustees feel there is alignment, the initial step will be an informal conversation with the Director and a current Trustee. Subject to mutual interest, this may be followed by an invitation to observe a Board meeting and meet the wider team.

Further details about the role and expectations of Trustees can be found on the “Become a Trustee” page of the charity’s website.
