Are you passionate about strong, healthy, and connected communities? Do you want to make a real difference in the Derbyshire Dales?
We’re Derbyshire Dales CVS – a friendly, committed team supporting voluntary and community groups across the area. We provide advice, training and hands-on support to local groups, champion the voluntary sector and run projects that help disadvantaged individuals and communities thrive.
We’re looking for new Trustees to join our Board and help steer our organisation into the future. This is a great opportunity to contribute your voice, skills and energy to something meaningful.
We’re especially interested in people with experience or knowledge in any of the following areas:
1. HR
2. Health / mental health social care
3. ICT / digital strategy
4. Fundraising
You don’t need to be a charity expert – if you have a good head for organisations, a connection to our communities and a collaborative spirit, we’d love to hear from you. Your experience might come from the private, public, or voluntary sectors.
What to expect:
- Voluntary role (reasonable expenses reimbursed)
- 6 Board meetings per year (usually 2 hours each)
- Meetings held in Bakewell or the local area – with virtual access available
