We are looking for two new Trustees to join our Board
Our Board is made up of volunteers from a variety of backgrounds. Together we set out the overall strategy, monitor progress against our targets and objectives and ensure that The Welcome Centre operates on a financially sound basis.
Trustees attend four meetings per year (usually held on Monday evenings), as well as an annual strategy day and our AGM. Most of us also take responsibility for particular areas of governance. In addition, we encourage trustees to occasionally volunteer operationally if they can (usually week days), in order to maintain a good understanding of what we do.
We are seeking committed and passionate individuals, we are particularly interested in applications from those with professional experience of Finance but also welcome applications from anyone who has empathy with The Welcome Centre’s vision including individuals who may have lived experience of food or family crisis. If you feel you have skills and experience which may benefit our charity, we would love to hear from you.
You do not have to know everything. We will provide training, induction and support as well as a lively and stimulating environment and the opportunity to make a difference. Above all, we are looking for enthusiastic and committed individuals.
Our aims as an organisation are that we should be truly representative of all sections of society, that each member should feel respected and able to give of their best and that there should be equality and fairness for all who join us.
