We would like to expand the reach and impact of our organisation by inviting you to consider joining us as a trustee. As trustees we guide the direction of our work to meet our mission of connecting the community, enhancing the local environment, and providing a community voice. You can visit the website for a reflection of our ambitions for West Thamesmead: https://www.westthamesmead.org.uk/about/ We aim to meet once a month in the near term to guide our currently active projects - Love Soup Café, Gallions Copse Wild Urban Garden, and Tidy West Thamesmead, as well as develop other projects that support our mission. We are currently a constituted community organisation registered with MetroGAVS, however we have submitted an application to become a Community Interest Company (CIC) to expand our funding opportunities. If you would consider joining us as trustees, we would like to invite you to our next trustees meeting in April.
Trusteeships & Committees
N/A
While our current trustees have a wide ranging set of skills, WTCA will benefit from both skills not represented such as comms and marketing, accounting, and reporting, as well as different perspectives on our current skills which include project management and grant writing.
Volunteering with WTCA gives an excellent opportunity to be involved in active community projects. Volunteers will be part of an excellent, committed, community-building team and provide volunteers with invaluable work experience and training possibilities. Volunteers public transport (bus) expenses will be covered where necessary
The trustees monthly meeting is the only commitment and usually runs between 1-1.5 hours. However, we encourage our trustees to volunteer additional time to current and future projects. as and when it is feasible.
