Why not consider joining us as a trustee?
The role is a valuable one to us as an organisation and a rewarding one to our trustees. It is voluntary (although out-of-pocket expenses may be claimed) and carries with it responsibilities to make serious decisions regarding Lapwing’s future. The role requires commitment, generosity, a strong personal affinity with our work and the dedication and skills or experience to make a difference. The Board meet formally every two months and individual trustees also support the organisation in a variety of other ways according to their time and background, for example through offering consultancy, staff training, attending promotional events.
The Board of Trustees is always looking for new members with the skills and experience to complement and enrich our existing team.
Potential trustees are invited to contact Will Fletcher, CEO, via email: wfletcher@lapwingeducation.com or Tel: 07501 969099.
