Dunfermline Advocacy was established in 1992 and matches local volunteers with people in West Fife who are vulnerable, isolated and at risk of being excluded from their communities. It provides support, understanding and friendship and ensures that voices are heard and rights protected. It’s all about local people who care, supporting local people who need us - friendship changing lives
They are currently looking to recruit suitably interested and motivated individuals to join our Board of Trustees – get in touch ASAP and by 31 May.
The role of trustee is voluntary but offers an opportunity to support the great work of Dunfermline Advocacy and provide strategic guidance, governance and leadership to the Chief Executive and staff team.
First and foremost they are looking for people who have a real desire to help others and to make a difference to the lives of those most vulnerable in West Fife. However, additional business, IT and fund raising skills would be an advantage too as well as ’get involved’ attitude to ensure that the Board can provide strong support to the staff team. Be willing to attend around 6-8 meetings per year including quarterly Board meetings, business action groups and charity events.
