Who We Are
What we’re looking for
We are seeking Trustees who can make a general contribution to the strategic oversight and governance of our business, and we’re also particularly keen to add Trustees with any of the following skills and experience.
·Charitable Fund Raising
·Safeguarding
As a Trustee of the Derbyshire Cricket Foundation you share ultimate responsibility for governing a charity and directing how it is managed and run, but the roles are largely “eyes-on, hands-off”, as our members of staff manage the day-to-day operational business of the DCF.
Trustees are also expected to be a member of one of our Board committees, which will be aligned with their areas of interest or experience. This will typically involve attending a further 1-2 meetings per year. There may be further opportunities for Trustees to support our work or events, but we appreciate that the role is a voluntary commitment and respect that our Trustees will need to balance their time with other commitments.
