As a local educational and environmental charity that has been running for over twenty four years, we have a thriving community of individual and group members and a dedicated team of volunteers.

Please email Carolyn Corr, Chair of Trustees with your CV and a brief covering letter explaining why you would like to be a trustee of Dorset Scrapstore and what skills you would bring to the charity.
Informal discussions are always welcome before applying.
