Become at trustee at Two Ridings Community Foundation

Deadline 25th October

Two Ridings is part of a national network of Community Foundations committed to supporting small local charities in our region. As a trustee you will help direct and guide the organisation as it continues its leading role in helping those in need in North and East Yorkshire, creating a connected and thriving region for everyone.

You’ll be a part of a set of people from all walks of life, who care about people and Yorkshire communities and understand that having a strong regional funder with secure access to funds and good connections is a great thing for the people and organisations in the area and beyond.

The trustees work closely with an experienced staff team, making decisions about strategy, priorities and resourcing as well as lending expertise and advice from their lived or professional experience.

Over the next five years the Foundation has ambitious plans to inspire investment into Yorkshire, empower people through grant making and leadership and contribute to wider positive change throughout the region

Specific skills they are ideally seeking are:

• Financial – Experience of investments or management and understanding of accounts of multi million pound turnover organisations;
• Legal – particularly in relation to law relating to charities or trusts
• Organisational management – through being a leader of an organisation either non profit or for profit.

But, just as important, they are also keen to hear from people with lived and/or vocational experience who share their passion for the work the Foundation does.
