Trustee with community centre experience to develop local hub

Ladybarn Community Hub has existed for 40 years but has gone through several iterations in that time. The current charity has existed since 2019 and despite some recent challenges we are starting to build up our local image and develop the Hub into a community resource to be proud of. We're now looking to recruit trustees with experience of community work, charity governance, fundraising and bidmaking or trustee chairing to help us get to the next level. You don't need to have experience of all of the above as we're recruiting several trustees at once but 3+ years of experience in one of these areas would be preferred.

Ladybarn is a very diverse area, and our community includes lots of students, south Asian families and older Irish communities among others. We would like our trustee board to represent the community and we particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and other ethnic minority people and people with disabilities to apply for this post. We're developing groups like a Muslim men's mindfulness group and an LGBT coffee morning and having lived experience will help us tailor groups to appeal to different demographics. We're also particularly interested in trustees that live locally and care about Ladybarn and the surrounding area, but this is not a requirement for every trustee. 

We would also be interested in recruiting a chair or treasurer so if you are interested in these positions please let us know.

This is a fantastic opportunity to come into a budding organisation and support and shape our strategic direction into the future as we try to create a sustainable community centre. Your experienced support, commitment and drive will help us support more people every week and bring the community of Ladybarn together.
