Would you like to make a real impact in your local community?
Sherburn and Villages Community Trust – a dynamic local charity with a big impact – is looking to recruit an additional volunteer trustee who after a period of induction will take on the role of Secretary.
This means attending monthly trustee meetings, contributing to the strategic direction of the organisation, ensuring we are carrying out our charitable objectives and managing our resources, and supporting our small team of staff and volunteers. Our website can be viewed at sherburninelmetcommunitytrust.co.uk.
You will:
- Be numerate and computer literate
- Have good communication skills
- Be committed to your local community
- Understand and accept the responsibilities and liabilities of being a trustee
- Be able to meet the minimum time commitment of ten 6pm Monday evening trustee meetings per year
What difference will you make?
We were formed in 2016 and have been successfully managing the Community Library and the Old Girls School Community Centre as well as developing our role as a Community Anchor Organisation. You can play a part in continuing that success.
What’s in it for you?
You will share your skills and experience and make a real impact on your local community. You will work with a friendly team of dedicated people and develop transferable skills, improve your CV and broaden your experience.
Becoming a trustee is both a rewarding way to help your community and a way to learn fantastic new skills. It’s an invigorating and active role, which puts you at the very heart of a charity and its work, liaising with a team of like-minded people.
