Your fundraising knowledge could make a big difference to our life saving charity!
If you have a strong background in Fundraising or Impact, your skills could be just what our Board needs to enhance our team as we provide strategic leadership for the Charity. Each Trustee brings a different skill to the Board and we are specifically looking for an individual with a background in fundraising or impact to provide strategic input to St John Ambulance Cymru as we move forward.
Board Trustees are volunteers that set the overall direction of the organisation whilst providing insight and constructive challenge to the Charity. This is largely achieved through Board meetings which are 4 times a year (usually in person, in Cardiff) and for this role, also by chairing our Fundraising and Impact Committee which meets online 4 times a year and reports into the Board.
Volunteering as a Trustee is a unique opportunity to build your leadership skills and discover new areas of personal development whilst also supporting and setting the strategic direction of the organisation.
If you'd like to have an informal chat before applying, please contact Helen Willson (Trustee and current Chair of Fundraising and Impact Committee) or Caryn Cox (Trustee and Deputy Chair and Chair of the Board)

Volunteering opportunity: The National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain is seeking new Trustees
Join us as a Trustee at The National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain! As a registered charity, we’re seeking dedicated individuals to guide us in fulfilling our mission with integrity and passion.
Responsibilities include shaping strategic direction, safeguarding the organisation’s values, ensuring financial stability, and actively contributing to board decisions. Trustees play a key role in promoting openness, honesty, and leadership.
We’re looking for committed individuals with a love for brass banding and youth music, and expertise in areas like arts management, funding development, audience development, marketing and communication.
We hold four trustee meetings a year - three online (typically 2-3hrs) one in person (full day). Estimated annual time commitment 20hrs per year. You are also encouraged to attend performances and events.
If you’re ready to make a meaningful impact, join us on this exciting journey! We are seeking applications from a broad range of backgrounds and ages. Don't be put off if this is would be your first charity trusteeship - to develop greater youth voice, applications from under 25s are also welcome.
We exist to give the brightest young brass and percussion musicians the opportunity to develop their musicianship, play together and inspire others.
