Trustee

The Board of Elmore Community Services is looking for new Trustees to lead the organisation at an important stage in its development.  

Elmore was founded in 1989 and has successfully supported hundreds of with people with multiple and complex needs to live active and fulfilling lives. The charity specialises in working with individuals who, for whatever reason, find other mental health services hard to access and can be left unsupported at critical times.  

Elmore’s clients may have mental health needs and people experiencing homelessness or unstable housing, individuals who are coping with the long-term impact of substance misuse, alcohol dependency, domestic abuse and neglect.  

We are committed to persevering, trying out different approaches to engage the person and build up their trust in support services  possibly for the first time.  

This is vital work, and Trustees find contributing to the Board and the overall strategy and impact of Elmore highly worthwhile.  

We also need Board Members with knowledge and experience of: 

• Commissioning and Partnership Building with the NHS and Local Government  

• Fundraising – especially from Trusts and Foundations 

• Improving and assessing Programme impact and Quality  

We are particularly looking for Trustees with lived experience of services like Elmore’s. 

Younger people and people from ethnic minority communities are currently underrepresented on the Board and we would especially welcome applications from these groups living in Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire where Elmore currently has programmes. 

The closing date for applications is May 12th 2025.  Please send a copy of your CV and a short one page note about why you would like to become an Elmore Trustee to Mandy Williams, Head of HR.
