Fairway Fife is a Peer Mentoring Charity supporting people with learning disabilities and autism from 16 years of age. They are making a positive difference by recruiting professionally supported committed volunteers who can support their young adults on their exciting journey. Using a variety of activities and experiences, caring relationships can be formed and both young adults and peer mentors’ lives may be enhanced from the benefits gained, helping them to achieve their highest potential. They are now looking for board members to support the direction and management of the charity. Board members will attend meetings, make decisions on the direction of the charity, ensure good governance and act as an ambassador for the charity. They are particularly looking for someone to carry out secretarial duties, capable of minute taking, feedback & evaluation recording and IT. Confidentiality would be of the highest importance.

Fife Law Centre is currently seeking to recruit Board members with various skills and knowledge, including financial management, Third Sector organisations and their purposes in Fife, and statutory bodies e.g. local government and health. Fife Law Centre was established in 2009 and is a registered charity, constituted as a company limited by guarantee. It is the product of the vision of local agencies and providers who saw a need for accessible and specialist legal services for clients served by the Third Sector in Fife. These founding agencies are now their partners as they seek to provide for those with unmet legal needs. The purpose of the Board is to set the strategic direction of, and secure the resources for, Fife Law Centre, and to work with the Principal Solicitor to support the delivery of services. Their principal funders are Fife Council and the Scottish Legal Aid Board, under the Making Justice Work Project. They are also receiving grants from the Volant Trust, the Robertson Trust and the National Lottery Improving Lives Fund. The current focus of legal work is on cases of homelessness, welfare law and supporting victims of domestic violence. The firm now also accepts employment related cases. Matters in other fields are dealt with at the discretion of the Principal Solicitor. The Board meets 5/6 times a year in a formal setting, with Board members taking a lead in different topics, occasionally in work groups. The pandemic required the firm and the Board to work differently, and new trustees will join a Board reflecting on the demands which may face Fife Law Centre in the future, how they might be met, and how proper governance should be discharged.
