The Wokingham Volunteer Centre is a locally focused organisation (CIO no 1161498), supporting the voluntary and community sector and many hundreds of vulnerable residents of Wokingham Borough. With our 8 part-time staff and around 130 volunteers, we provide a volunteer brokerage service to potential volunteers and the charities/voluntary groups that need them, as well as transport and gardening services that enable elderly and/or disabled residents to stay safely in their own homes for longer than would otherwise be the case.

We are currently seeking Trustees to join and strengthen our board. We would particularly welcome individuals with experience in one of the following areas: HR, Health and Safety, Communications and Social Media. We would like to increase the diversity of our board and would welcome applications from all.

With other trustees to hold the charity ‘in trust’ for current and future beneficiaries by;

1. Ensuring that the charity has a clear vision, mission and strategic direction, and is focused on achieving these.

2. Being responsible for the performance of the charity and for its culture.

3. Ensuring that the charity complies with all legal and regulatory requirements

4. Acting as guardians of the charity’s assets, both tangible and intangible, taking all due care over their security, deployment and proper application.

5. Ensuring that the charity’s governance is of the highest possible standard.

Trustees will need to attend monthly Board meetings (currently held virtually) and other occasional meetings and events as may arise. Minimum time commitment 3 hours per month. Maximum time commitment is up to you!
