Help make a lasting difference in the communities in which you work or live

Trustee / Committee volunteers needed for Connecting Communities in Berkshire (CCB)

CCB is seeking to recruit new Trustees to our Board. We are looking for people who have an interest in our work and, ideally, particular experience or knowledge in one or more of the following fields: Governance, Policy, Campaigning, Charity Law or Health & Safety

Trustees need to have an interest and enthusiasm for working to improve community life in Berkshire and the ideal person will also have strong networks or alliances within the County. Post holders will be expected to attend up to 5 evening Board Meetings per year. In addition there may be a small number of other meetings including the Annual General Meeting and a Board/Staff Away Day.

For further details please e-mail admin@ccberks.org.uk or to find out more about us please visit our website: www.ccberks.org.uk. To make an appointment for an informal conversation with the Chief Operating Officer Tim Parry please call on the above number 0118 9612000.

The Community Council for Berkshire is looking to recruit new Trustees onto our Board.

CCB is an independent charity with over 40 years’ experience in community development work. CCB is the Rural Community Council for Berkshire and works to strengthen and support local communities throughout Berkshire. Our core mission is to enable communities in Berkshire to thrive by using our knowledge, skills and enterprise. Our vision is to strengthen, promote and empower communities across Berkshire.

Your skills and experience will be put to use to make a lasting difference in the communities in which you work or live. If you have time on your hands due to retirement or other circumstances this could be the perfect role for you. Alternatively, if you have a busy work life, there are only a handful of (mostly evening) meetings to attend a year and we would appreciate your comments and input on key decisions.

As we are a small staff team, we do rely on volunteers to step in where needed and complete key task and finish jobs. This is an opportunity to enhance your CV and open doors to possible new career paths!
