The Charitable Trust is seeking bold, innovative thinkers to join its trustee board and help deliver support to any of our customers who are struggling with financial hardship to meet the cost of their water bill, ensuring lasting change in the communities we serve. We all strive to make a difference, but you can also care enough to commit your time and your expertise.
We are passionate about supporting our customers in many different ways. The trust offers independent support and, since its launch in 1993, has provided thousands of our customers with grants that cover the cost of their water bills. As a registered charity, the trust is administered by a board of trustees, assisted by representatives from South Staffs Water.
As a member of the board of trustees, the role will involve reviewing applications and making decisions regarding grants as well as establishing policies and managing resources.
To be eligible for the role, trustees will have to commit on average, 3 hours every three months to study papers, preparing for and attending meetings. You will normally be asked to attend four video conference meetings per year, or in person at our offices in either Green Lane, Walsall or Fulbourn Road Cambridge. Travel expenses will be paid in return where applicable.
Key Responsibilities
If you are someone who wants to engage in really changing the lives of people who are affected by financial difficulty, apply for this role by including a brief covering letter explaining why you are interested in becoming a trustee. If you’re driven to make a difference, this is your opportunity to be part of lasting change in the communities we serve.
