What trustees do:
Trustees set our direction, make sure our money is well spent, and look after our governance and safeguarding. This means our volunteers and staff can be there for families across Wales.
Who we’re looking for:
We welcome people from all backgrounds and walks of life, including parents and carers, people with lived experience of family life and those with professional skills. You don’t need to have been a trustee before, just a commitment to our values of compassion, respect, empowerment, trust, community and collaboration.
Our current priority: treasurer or finance experience:
If you have experience as a treasurer, or in finance, accountancy, audit or charity finance, we’d love to hear from you. You’d help the Board keep Home-Start Cymru financially strong and sustainable, and explain financial information clearly to colleagues who aren’t finance specialists.
What you’ll give and what you’ll gain:
Trustees give their time and expertise as volunteers: Board meetings are usually held in person, at least quarterly. Hybrid options are available to support
participation when circumstances dictate. You may be also be called to attend very infrequent ‘special meetings’, either online or in person, if there is an issue that needs immediate discussion or needs additional time that a board meeting would not allow. In return, you’ll make a real difference to families across Wales, develop your skills as part of a supportive Board.
How to apply:
Closing date for treasurer applications: Open. For an informal chat or more information, contact Jayne Drummond, Home-Start Cymru, CEO on jdrummond@homestartcymru.org.uk
