Trustee

Local Welcome makes it fun and easy for people to cook and eat with refugees in their community. 

We’re looking for a new trustee to support us through a time of challenge and opportunity, as we simultaneously navigate the changing landscape of refugee support in the UK, and manage strategic changes in the charity’s financial model and service delivery.

You’ll be joining a friendly board with 3-5 other trustees with different backgrounds, expertise and experience. Some on the board have been with us from our early days, and others are more recent appointments. Two board members are Local Welcome leaders themselves. A key area of focus will be to help lead the organisation through the change management process mentioned above.

Our ultimate goal is to be a 100% membership-funded organisation. Our current strategy paves our way to achieve this once we’ve scaled from 7 groups to 50. 

We have a small, committed team of 3 members of staff, and 1 freelancer, co-led by our Finance Manager and Product and Operations Manager. Both members of the management team have worked at Local Welcome for over 6 years. We’re really proud of our team and what they’ve achieved so far, and we’re excited about what the future holds for us.
