Could you be a Home-Start Elmbridge Trustee?

We are seeking people to join our Board of Trustees to offer strategic support to Home-Start Elmbridge - a charity committed to promoting the welfare of families.

With our Head Office based in Walton on Thames, Surrey, our charity offers practical and emotional support to families across the Borough of Elmbridge who are struggling to cope for a variety of reasons. We’re there for parents when they need us the most, because childhood can’t wait.

The role of Trustee is an important one – bringing the requiredgovernance and strategic guidance that every charity needs to run successfully and ethically. Home-Start Elmbridge Trustees typically attend a two-hour Board meeting every six weeks and provide strategic and governance support as and when required. We currently have six Trustees plus a Chairperson and would like to increase this to a minimum of eight Trustees.  

We'd welcome applications from people whose professional and lived experiences have the potential to provide insight, oversight and governance to our charity. Areas of experience which would be particularly useful to the Board include Fundraising, Event Management and Human Resources. However, we are also open to applications from people with different skills sets and professional backgrounds.

The most important attribute that a Trustee can bring to our Board is a passion for improving the lives of children. The role of Trustee is a voluntary one and as such is rewarded by knowing that the time and commitment you bring to the Board directly results in more families getting the vital support they need, so they stand the best chance of providing a nurturing and safe home for their children.  

If you feel that that you could offer your time and expertise to the Home-Start Elmbridge Board and would like to find out more about the Trustee role, please get in touch with our Chair, Kathy Clark, to arrange a short telephone conversation.
