About this opportunity: | Lucky Ewe is seeking to bring extra energy and a wider perspective to its trustee group as they grow this new educational charity in NE Fife. They would love to recruit 1 or 2 trustees, who work well with others, and have the experience and foresight to help steer Lucky Ewe forward. They are particularly interested in individuals with a financial or farming background, but all volunteers will be very kindly considered. Lucky Ewe trustees work always in the best interests of the charity, helping to keep the public informed of their work, helping to keep clear financial records and helping with fundraising. Trustees who want to volunteer in practical tasks on farm are also most welcome.
