What will you be doing?
We have a small but committed Board of Trustees who bring a range of experience and expertise to the organisation. We are currently looking for new trustees to join this group to further extend the range of trustees skills and experience and to make sure we have continuity as and when trustees retire.
Over the last few years SLRA has grown considerably. We now have an annual turnover of just under £1 million a year and a staff team of around 20 people, supported by up to 70 volunteers. We have clear management, administration and finance policies and procedures which reflect this growth and our trustees lead on setting and monitoring the strategic direction of the organisation.

This is a challenging time for SLRA as we respond to the growing demand for our service and the ever changing political landscape in which we work. We need the support and expertise of trustees who can help us to build partnerships, develop our strategic plans and ensure that we achieve our aims.
We are actively recruiting a trustee with expert knowledge of safeguarding but would also be happy to hear from you if you have experience with fundraising, charity governance/strategy or UK immigration or asylum law and policy.
