Act in the best interest of the people we support

Trustees work collaboratively with the Chair, fellow Trustees, and the CEO. This is a voluntary role, but one that offers meaningful impact and the opportunity to make a real difference locally.

Above all, we are looking for people who share our values of kindness, inclusion and empowerment and want to support a local charity making a direct, visible impact.

Approximately 4-5 Board meetings per year
Occasional involvement in sub-groups or strategic discussions
Meetings are friendly, supportive and well-structured
