Could you help govern the Ramblers?

We’re looking for new trustees to help our charity grow and develop. Could you be one of them?

 

Who are we looking for?

We need four members to bring their skills and experience to the Board of Trustees. You’ll share your insights, bring your own perspectives, and help ensure the Ramblers is delivering its charitable objectives.

We welcome applications from all parts of the membership, and actively seek to diversify the views and lived experiences represented on the Board. This year we are also on the lookout for members who have experience at a professional or executive level in fundraising and income generation, volunteer leadership and development, or safeguarding legislation and best practice.

 

What’s involved?

Our trustees have collective responsibility for governing the Ramblers and for directing how it is managed and run by our executive staff team. You won’t get involved in the day-to-day running of the charity, but your strategic oversight will shape our future and ensure we make best use of our resources in delivering our objectives. You'll serve a two or three-year term from April 2025, attending five Board meetings a year plus other meetings and events as needed.

 

What’s in it for me?

Being a trustee can be a rewarding experience. You’ll be giving your time and expertise to a cause you feel passionate about, learning new skills, and developing a deeper understanding of our work and its outcome for walkers. We offer training and ongoing support to all trustees.
