What we’re looking for
We are passionate about the value that these gardens add to our local community. We are keen to hear from people from a variety of backgrounds but would be particularly interested in candidates with experience in community development.
We welcome applications from all ages and backgrounds. Whether you are an experienced Trustee or want to take your first step at Board level, we would love to hear from you.
The role
The role of the trustee is a rewarding one.
The Board of Trustees sets the overall strategic direction for the charity and provides scrutiny of our organisation’s processes and decisions. We work closely with our CEO and staff team to decide on our priorities and how we should achieve them. Our trustees are key to ensuring we continue to remain a viable organisation and stay on track to deliver our charitable objectives.
The board meets on the third Monday of each month in the evening.

If you are passionate about the value of green space in our community and are up for the challenge, please contact Holly in the first instance for an information pack and to arrange an informal discussion, by emailing holly@staa-allotments.org.uk
