Volunteer Management Trustee
The main aims of the volunteer management trustee role will be to support our current team of nine volunteers, developing volunteer activity as well as recruiting and training new volunteers as and when needed.
What difference will you make?
Dyspraxic Me is looking for a new trustee in the area of volunteer management to develop and grow the charity.
Dyspraxic Me offers dyspraxic young people the chance to take part in a series of workshops that help them develop useful skills for adulthood, for example, cooking, sports, and social skills. Participants help to inform the sessions by having opportunities to suggest what sessions they would like to attend and would find beneficial. Sessions have included cooking, cycling, social skills, employability skills, and art; we usually organise a social picnic each year. Every year we organise events for Dyspraxia Awareness Week to raise awareness of dyspraxia.
Dyspraxic Me started in June 2013 and has been delivering workshops since February 2014. Dyspraxic Me is a volunteer-run registered charity with 5 trustees including the founder of the group. Trustees and volunteers play an active role in the daily running of the charity. Dyspraxic Me has plans to grow to support more dyspraxic people.
