We're seeking new trustees with experience in Family Support Delivery / Safeguarding / Community Engagement / Income Generation / Finance / Leadership to help safeguard the future of our child bereavement charity.
What difference will you make?
As a trustee you will help ensure that FiG is well-led, legally compliant, financially sustainable, and focused on its charitable purpose. Last year, we supported over 300 individuals across northern Devon, and demand for our services is increasing. With your help, we can continue to provide vital support to families when they need us the most.
What are we looking for?
We want to build a diverse, passionate board drawn from a wide array of backgrounds, with a healthy mix of skills, identities, perspectives, and lived experience. We will provide a full induction and you will be allocated a ‘buddy’ from within the team to support you as you settle into your role. We are interested in people who care about FiG’s purpose and are ready to learn and share responsibility.
