Support MDA’s governance by helping organise trustee paperwork and Charity Commission requirements, working collaboratively with our Chair and Administrator
The Secretary works alongside our Chair, Administrator and Service Co-ordinator to help keep our trustee and charity paperwork organised.
This includes helping with:
- Preparing and organising paperwork for trustee meetings
- Supporting the administration of trustee meetings
- Assisting with relevant Charity Commission paperwork and requirements
- Working collaboratively with the Chair, Administrator, Service Co-ordinator and other trustees
You don't need to be an experienced charity secretary. Being organised, reliable and comfortable with paperwork is more important.
You will be required to attend our Trustee Meetings, held 4 times a year in Minehead.
A combination of roles
There is also the possibility of combining some of these responsibilities, depending on your experience and interests.
For example, someone joining the board as a Secretary may also be able to become a trustee.
Trustees meet four times a year, with additional involvement kept to what is reasonably necessary.
What we're looking for
Above all, we're looking for people who:
✔ Are willing to make a positive contribution
✔ Can give a little time when needed
✔ Bring their own ideas, skills or experience
✔ Are happy to work as part of a small, friendly team
✔ Want to help MDA continue to support local people affected by dementia and memory loss
You don't have to do it all. We're a small charity and understand that volunteers have their own lives and commitments. We aim to share the workload, keep things manageable and make the best use of the skills people can offer.
Could you help us?
If you would like to find out more about any of these roles, we'd love to hear from you.
Please get in touch with Minehead Dementia Action Administrator to have an informal chat about what's involved.
