We're looking for Trustees to join our Board. What difference will you make? This is a great opportunity to support a vital local service (that is part of a national network), and make a contribution towards improving the lives of families with young children, among a friendly team of trustees, staff and volunteers. What are we looking for? It's a fantastic opportunity to support your local community, while also developing your skills among a friendly team of volunteers and staff. Could you provide

Trustees work closely with the staff team to enable Home-Start Southern Oxfordshire to deliver a high quality, effective and well-respected service. We currently have eight trustees. We are seeking new trustees, and would particularly welcome people with knowledge of/expertise in fundraising, corporate fundraising, HR, staff wellbeing, Charity Financial Accounting, IT, family support/early years work or GDPR.
