Trustee - Fundraising Specialist

Are you passionate about improving the wellbeing of the Glossopdale community? 

Do you have skills, experience, or fresh perspectives that could help shape the future of a thriving charity? 

If so, The Bureau is looking for enthusiastic and dedicated individuals to join our Board of Trustees.

The Role

As a Trustee, you will:

• Provide strategic oversight and guidance, ensuring The Bureau achieves its mission and stays true to its values.
• Support and challenge the management team to deliver impactful projects and services.
• Use your skills, knowledge, and experience to strengthen our governance and decision-making.

We welcome individuals from all walks of life and particularly encourage applications from young people, women, people from Black and minority ethnic communities and those with a disability.

We are also seeking to fill some skills gaps in our current Board of Trustees, and therefore on this occasion would love to speak to people who have experience in fundraising – supporting with our fundraising strategy, building partnerships, innovative fundraising ideas, mentoring and training our management team and diversifying our income streams. The trustee’s input here will be invaluable in securing financial sustainability, expanding our reach, and ensuring that essential services continue to thrive.

What You’ll Gain

• The opportunity to shape the future of a dynamic local charity.
• The chance to make a meaningful impact in your community.
• The opportunity to share and build your skills and expand your network.
• The feel-good-factor of volunteering your time to support our cause!

Time Commitment

We meet bi-monthly for Trustee meetings, and occasional time may be required for subcommittees or specific projects. This is a voluntary role, but reasonable expenses can be reimbursed.
