As a charity serving the marginalised and those in financial hardship, we seek to have a wide range of life experiences and perspectives represented on our trustee board.

 

That means we don't ask for a specific level of qualification or experience from our trustees, unless it's needed to complete the role (for instance, you'll need a basic level of familiarity with technology to join meetings and access documents online).

 

Your CV helps us to understand the specific experience, skills and perspectives you'll bring to the team.
