What will you be doing?
Trustees come from all walks of life and we aim to make sure the Board represents the diverse communities of Gloucestershire. GCF is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee, so Trustees are the Directors with legal responsibility to ensure the organisation is well run and fulfils its public benefit mission.

The Foundation inspires a sense of community and place and unites all sectors and residents around our love of Gloucestershire, inspiring giving back, in all its forms, funding, volunteering, skills, education and sector leadership support.
