Help shape a better future for Scotland's communities
08 January 2021
As we prepare to celebrate our 25th anniversary in 2021, we have some exciting and ambitious plans to support Scotland’s communities in the years ahead. And we're inviting you to get involved.
If you can spare a little time, you could make a difference by joining us as a new Trustee on our Board. You don’t need previous board-level experience; all new trustees will be fully supported and developed in their role. What’s more important is bringing new skills and experiences to the table, to ensure the Board fully represents the diverse communities that the Foundation serves. Applications from all ages, BAME, non-British nationals, LGBTQI+ people and people with disabilities are particularly welcome.
All Trustees work together to provide leadership and governance, acting in the charity's best interests, working collaboratively to establish the vision and strategic priorities. You will also have an opportunity to work with inspirational people, including our Foundation staff and people within the communities we support.
The role is voluntary, with reasonable expenses covered, and requires around one day of your time per month. Meetings are predominantly virtual; therefore, an applicant’s location is entirely flexible.
Commenting on the new Trustee vacancies, Chief Executive of Foundation Scotland Giles Ruck said,
“We have invested time and energy in 2020 in identifying our future plans. Building a wider group of Trustees, each bringing something different and contributing to the organisation with new thoughts, ideas and challenge, is exactly what we need to continue our success”.
