Have you ever considered being a trustee of a charity?
It is a great way to volunteer and can fit around work hours. The above sites will have Trustee opportunities or why not approach a charity you like and ask if they need any more Trustees at the moment. Include a CV and a short statement about what skills and experience you could offer.
What is a trustee?
Trustees are volunteers that work as a team and are legally responsible for a charity. In other words, they provide the strategic direction and governance of charities.
We are in the process of gathering a number of resources for trustees, but for now you can have a look at Why Being a Trustee is Probably The Best Volunteering Role There is and if you’re already a trustee in Camden, why not join the Camden Trustee Network?
Camden Trustee Network
Camden trustees are integral to the local VCSE and critical to the quality of community service provision in the borough.
The Camden Trustee Network brings together trustees from different Camden VCSE organisations to share experience, good practice, ideas and offer peer support.
The network is a partnership established by Volunteer Centre Camden (VCC) and Voluntary Action Camden (VAC) to help share skills, knowledge and enable peer support. VCC and VAC work to support the VCSE and understand the enormous contribution and importance trustees provide and this network will help provide valuable insight into the sector and help identify gaps, issues and future learning and development needs of trustees.
Camden Trustee Network is a unique opportunity to encourage collaboration and to generate and nurture ideas which we know is both valued and required by our members.
