Growing Together Trustee

Growing Together Northampton is looking to recruit individuals to its Board of Trustees. We are looking for people who are interested in the work we do and would like to help with the running of the organisation, helping to set direction and ensure that we meet the needs of people in the communities we work in.

We are specifically interested in people who live in the estates we work in: Blackthorn Goldings Rectory Farm, Thorplands, Lings, Lumbertubs or who understand some of the issues of the area.

We encourage Trustees to become involved in the organisation in a variety of roles supporting our community work or in the BGN Nursery. This is in addition to the Board meetings – which occur 4 – 6 times in a year.

To find out more please contact Kathryn White for an informal chat and a chance to find out more about the charity.
