Charity Trustee with lived experience

What will you be doing?

Sanctuary Breaks gained charity status in August 2023. Our small Board of Trustees wishes to welcome creative individuals to develop the exciting potential of our activities. We're particularly looking for individuals who can contribute skills and experience in the following :

1. Charity governance, especially building up a young charity
2. income generation and enterprise
3. lived experience as an asylum seeker and/or refugee,
4. digital strategy
5. collaborative partnerships

What are we looking for?

1. a commitment to the vision, purpose and values of SB
2. a willingness to devote the necessary time and effort
3. integrity
4. strategic vision
5. independent judgement
6. an ability to think creatively
7. an understanding and acceptance of the legal duties, responsibilities and liabilities of trusteeship
8. an ability to work effectively as a member of a team and to take decisions for the good of SB.

What difference will you make?

Our values permeate the approach we have and the work we do. You will join an experienced group of women and men who will embrace your new ideas and insights. Alongside regular Board meetings (currently held on zoom) there will be plenty of opportunity to take part in all Sanctuary Breaks activities such as day trips and longer visits to Hill House, Amberley, shared meals, and fundraising events.

Before you apply

Any interested volunteer will be welcomed to Hill House for a meeting with the Chair of Sanctuary Breaks (this could be virtual in the first instance). Their application will then be considered by the Board.
