Are you the new Chair of a UK charity dedicated to helping the people of Mityana in Uganda?
Do you have skills and enthusiasm to lead our Board?
You could be the next Chair of the Mityana Charity, a small UK-based unincorporated organisation that supports education, healthcare and sustainable community development in the vicinity of Mityana in Uganda.
We transform lives by encouraging donations in the UK and, as we don’t have employees, these funds go towards our collaborating charity in Uganda, Partners for Community Transformation.
About us
Set up in 1994, we had an income in 2022/23 of almost £190k, with matching expenditure, as we’re not a large charity with overheads. Our projects in Mityana now include economic empowerment, improving welfare and medical provisions, and enhancing education and safeguarding.
About the role
We’re looking for someone to lead our Board who is committed to maintaining, developing and sustaining the charity, and who will work with our other trustees to continue to shape our future. You should have an interest in supporting the sustainable development of communities in Africa, and thus a empathy with our cause and beneficiaries.
Our Board is composed of enthusiastic volunteers, some with a long-term involvement in the charity. Also some who have visited our delivery charity, Partners for Community Transformation, in Uganda.
Trustees are the people who make the top-level decisions for our charity. You don’t necessarily need prior experience of charity trusteeship, although that would be welcome. Induction to our organisation will be provided, plus access to external training, as needed. Your prior experience of committee work would be useful.
Once you are familiar with the function and operation of our charity, we would welcome your taking on other operational responsibilities, if possible, as we don’t have UK staff.
If you can think strategically, plan long-term and able to work collectively with our other Board members, you have the primary skills needed by our trustees.
We are a charity not a business, but we apply business principles to governing our organisation. We are looking for fresh expertise and experience from a variety of backgrounds to our charity. We want to expand the diversity of our board, in all meanings of the word, and strongly welcome applications from people from less-represented groups.
The Board meets online and face-to-face for about 90 minutes, usually five times a year on days agreed in advance by trustees.
How to apply
This high-profile appointment is being managed for us by inVOLve Community Services, a charity-support organisation, who offer a no-obligation discussion by phone or video. A detailed Role Description and Skills Specification will be made available to you upon request.
Trustee appointments are subject to satisfactory references and to a satisfactorily-completed DBS check.
Your CV and supporting statement will be read by our trustees, and an informal discussion can be offered to you as soon as mutually convenient. If your offer fits our needs, and you feel the same, this can be followed by a more-formal short video interview. Confirmation of appointment is subject to approval at our AGM.
I need to know more
Contact Mike Allen, via Quick Apply below, for more information and arrange to have a no-obligation initial discussion (Teams/Zoom/phone) and explanation about this important role.
