    Opportunity


    About this opportunity:This is a thriving charity, used by over 150 people per week, run by a committee of volunteers, and employing an office manager and a caretaker. Being part of the team is rewarding, fun, and sometimes challenging!

    Activities for all ages include sports, exercise, crafts, and lunch clubs.

    The Centre supports an increasing number of services addressing mental health and welfare issues by engaging vulnerable individuals in social and other activities. It also hosts a food bank.

    There is a phenomenal buzz when you come through the doors of the Centre. As a trustee you are brought into contact with all ages, making a contribution that directly impacts the community.

    The main responsibility of the role is to supervise the Centre's day-to-day financial operations.

New trustees will be provided with written information on the running of the Charity, and will be able to meet current trustees as much as needed to go through the workings of the Centre. Specific information will be provided on each particular role/skill. All questions will be welcomed. We do not have the capacity to provide training, but would direct any new trustee who wished to have training to look at the FVA website.
