We are seeking new trustees with an interest in joining the board of a well established, successful community centre on the Queensway Estate in Wellingborough. Our main functions are as a day centre for older people which runs 5 days a week and a venue for hire 7 days a week, morning, afternoon and evening. We also run a youth club for local young people and host a youth theatre group which is run by one of our trustees. We employ 9 members of staff but we are a very 'hands-on' group of people and have frequent interactions with the staff and users of the centre. This is not a 'meetings only' role.
Skills
A business background is useful but not essential. Practical skills such as building maintenance are always useful. A knowledge of the local area and other organisations in and around Wellingborough is desirable. A willingness to get involved is the main thing.
