Trustee

We’re extending our Board of Trustees to fulfil our long-term ambitions. We have a friendly, experienced team and financial strengths. Activities take place in central Ealing. Transport links are good.

The time commitment will vary but could be around 2-3 hours per week, flexed according to what you can offer.

We welcome a wide range of background, to reflect the diversity of Ealing.

Our Trustees are responsible for 

·      Ensuring that the EBF pursues its stated objects (purposes), as defined by our governing document, by developing and agreeing a long-term strategy

·      Ensuring the effective and efficient administration of the organisation, including having appropriate policies and procedures in place

·      Ensuring the financial stability of the organisation, including the proper investment of the charity’s funds

In addition to the above statutory duties, each trustee should use any specific skills, knowledge or experience to help the board of trustees reach sound decisions. This may involve scrutinising board papers, leading discussions, focusing on key issues, providing advice and guidance on new initiatives, or other issues in which the trustee has special expertise.
