Help us to help local people in need – Become a Trustee at your local Citizens Advice
We are looking for new volunteers to become Trustees to help us make sure that the charity is well run and help develop new ways to improve the charity’s services.
You don’t need to have been a Trustee already, be older, or have management experience, to take on the responsibility of becoming a trustee. Above all we are looking for people who take an active interest in their local community, people keen to help our organisation make a real difference to the lives of those in need. Young or old and with a real interest in helping others, we are seeking people with skills and or lived experience, who can make a regular commitment of their time and are keen to help improve the service that we provide to local people.
If you have relevant work / life experience or professional skills, care about these issues, are prepared to offer your time, and enjoy supporting a committed team of hard-working staff and volunteers, we would be keen to hear from you.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

There are 5 Board meetings per year held in Addlestone, Surrey. They currently take place on a Monday, from 5.30 to 8.00 p.m. and are attended normally in person or by exception joined online. As a small charity, Trustees will have the opportunity to be involved in supporting the charity beyond Board meetings, perhaps by joining a working group.
