Trustees

We are currently seeking new Trustees to join our board. You will be joining the charity at an exciting time in our journey. Established in 2019, we are celebrating our fifth year and have just adopted a new strategy. Over the last few years, we have demonstrated our ability to deliver significant impact for communities. In 2023, we reached thousands of people by working across 40 parks in Bristol and Bath and our impact is set to further increase this year.

By becoming a Trustee, you will help shape our future by sharing your experience and passion to drive our strategy.

The main responsibilities of a Trustee are to:

  • take a financial overview and ensure that the organisation’s finances are adequate and responsibly managed;

We are currently recruiting Trustees with specific skill sets to complement our existing board.

Furthermore, we need to improve the diversity of our team and our trustees.
