Voluntary Sector Forum - Trustees
Cornwall Voluntary Sector Forum formed in 1992 when a small group of people came together in Cornwall to discuss the issues affecting our sector. We have been championing the VCSE sector ever since.
Membership is free and open to any VCSE organisation and associate based in or working for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. Members give us our mandate by shaping the direction of the charity at our AGM and by electing our trustees.
We are looking for Trustees:
who have an understanding of the charity sector and its needs who have a good knowledge of Cornwall, especially related to social deprivation and health inequality who have transferrable skills and abilities and good business acumen who are compassionate and care about the needs of Cornwall's residents, particularly vulnerable groups who can evidence they have brought about positive change that has improved people's lives.
We are looking for the following skills and experience::
finance, particularly a Treasurer legal & governance digital, marketing, PR & communications HR, OD & Culture.
Time Commitment:
The Board currently meets for 2 hours every 6 weeks (currently via video conference). Please note that due to the size of CVSF we currently have limited operational capacity so there is an expectation that trustees give additional support and time to the CEO and the organisation outside of board meetings. Additional time is required for special projects (recruitment, events, financial governance, CEO support etc.).
The roles of Chair and Trustee are unremunerated, however we will reimburse any expenses.
We expect our Trustees to uphold the Nolan Principles. They should exhibit these principles in their own behaviour. They should actively promote and robustly support the principles and be willing to challenge poor behaviour wherever it occurs.
selflessness integrity objectivity accountability openness honesty leadership
