Welcome to Reach Volunteering. We are a community and registered charity that connects people, skills and good causes.

To apply for this role, and any other on our platform, you need to be based in the UK, have at least three years of experience using the skills you wish to volunteer in a professional capacity or have lived experience (for trustee roles). Read more about our criteria.

We offer an opportunity for you to join a quality board for our sustainable, holistic, innovative, Christian International Devt charity building a new village in Sierra Leone that enables people to exit slums.  

What will you be doing?

Home Leone is looking to develop its governance.  A small group took it through the initial pioneering phase and in 2023, we appointed 4 others to help us enable a larger vision.  Our trustee team has brought clarity to a re-energised mission and has identified some areas which we would value additional perspective and experience. Therefore if you could bring Legal, Fundraising, Marketing or fund raising/networking we would love to hear from you.

We have very small cash reserves and this needs attention and building.  Having moved nearly 300 people to 64 homes from slums, built a school and so much more, we want to complete our the first "Destiny Village."   

Being a Christian is at the core of all Trustees values. 

 

What are we looking for?

We are looking for up to 3 new trustees with experience in 

Legal, HR, Marketing, Fundraising and Networking

What difference will you make?

As part of our board you will support and shape our work and strategic direction, as well as help us achieve our purpose. The foundations are built in the 7 developmental pillars of low cost, affordable homes, livelihoods and business, education, healthcare, power, water and training .  Whilst in our DNA is pioneering and innovation in a difficult environment, we now need to develop our strategy, policy and resource raising capability, to build out the first village, develop people and replicate.  We need fresh insight, high level professional skills, great governance and speaking in to policy, prayer and the joy of working together in something that, with your help, will be life changing for thousands.  Its an opportunity for Kingdom impact among the poorest on earth.
