Hope Kitchen – Trustees
We are currently recruiting new trustees to join the Hope Kitchen Board. We are looking for both trustees and office bearers, namely a Treasurer and Secretary and help support our work at an exciting time in the development of our charity. With our continued successful growth and our new venture into retail operations to support fundraising and our community, we are about to create a management committee to support the Board in more operational aspects of the charity governance,
Whether a candidate has previous board experience or not, we are open to new ideas, perspectives and challenge. We particularly welcome applications from interested people with lived or professional experience in any of these areas:
Engaging with people facing poverty and trauma;
Promoting community engagement and equality of access to services
Working in a multi agency partnership
Business, Finance or Governance roles.
We also recognise that enthusiasm and commitment to the activities we undertake are as important as previous relevant experience. All trustees must be in agreement with the ethos and motivating philosophy of the organization. We have the greatest chance of success if our board and staff teams draw upon a wide range of experience and knowledge and would encourage applications from a range of cultural and ethnic backgrounds.
The closing date for applications is Friday 19th April 2024 and we would be really grateful if you could help us spread the word.
