New trustees needed for Wiltshire Community Foundation
The charity's marking its 50th anniversary this year
A Wiltshire charity's looking for new trustees to join their board, as they reach their 50th year of operations.
The Wiltshire Community Foundation is a grant giving organisation, which handed our over £2.1 million to support more than 72,500 people across the county during 2023/24.
They've been working on addressing inequality, improving mental health and wellbeing, and supporting children and the older generation.
Trustees help to guide the Foundation's work, with the charity particularly keen on finding new board members with an accountancy, audit or voluntary sector background.
Wiltshire Community Foundation’s joint Chief Executive, Vicky Hickey said:
“This is a great opportunity to be a part of a forward-thinking organisation, who is striving to make a tangible, long-term difference in our communities. We are looking for new trustees who want to play a significant role in our exciting future, help us to inspire local giving to support the voluntary sector, and help our county thrive.
“What’s important to us is a keen interest in Wiltshire and Swindon, a commitment to creating positive change for our local communities, and a willingness to contribute time, attention and passion to the role, to our thinking and to the future success of our organisation. We want to reflect the communities we support by bringing a range of diverse voices, skills, backgrounds and experiences to our board, and we encourage people who would usually not consider themselves in this role to apply or contact us to find out more.”
Applications close on 31st March, with further details on the Wiltshire Community Foundation website.
