Trustee

We are delighted to be working with Valley Leisure Ltd (VLL), an independent charitable trust, with a long history of improving people’s health & wellbeing. 

For over 30 years, helping people move more has been at the heart of our charity's mission. Founded in 1987, they managed the leisure contract for Test Valley until 2017. Since stepping away from the leisure contract, they have introduced two new services in the community: Riverside Activity Zone and the I Can Therapy Centre. In 2023, they expanded further with the launch of a third service brand, I Can Connect.

VLL are seeking to appoint a Trustee to join their board to provide effective leadership and governance, approving the charity’s strategic direction and objectives, ensuring strong oversight and financial management, advocating for and building relationships for VLL and offering constructive challenge. 

You will have strong judgement, impartiality, strategic thinking, excellent communication, and a clear understanding of trusteeship responsibilities. 

We would specifically like to hear from you if you have:

• Finance skills
