community. This may include supporting the staff team, advocating for the Trust
in an inclusive and positive way, attending our celebrations of programme
graduates, or getting your wellies on! Board meetings are currently held on
Teams on Friday mornings each quarter and normally last 2.5 hours.

agreement with the board. The role is an unpaid role, although reasonable
expenses are provided.
You will be provided with a full induction, be supported by the Chair and Chief
Exec, and will have the opportunity to 8buddy9 with other Trustees.
