Help shape the future of Minehead Dementia Action by sharing your skills, ideas and experience as part of our collaborative trustee team.
Our trustees help guide the charity and make decisions about how we operate and develop.
As a trustee, you could:
- Help make decisions about our activities and future direction
- Share your own knowledge, skills and experience
- Bring new ideas and perspectives
- Help us ensure MDA continues to operate effectively
- Work collaboratively with our Chair, Administrator, Service Co-ordinator and other trustees and volunteers
Trustee meetings are held four times a year in Minehead, with some flexibility where circumstances require it.
You don't need to have been a trustee before. We are particularly interested in people who can bring a forward-thinking, practical and collaborative approach.
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 trustee may also be able to take on the Secretary or Health & Safety Lead roles we currently have available.
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.
