Trustee
Greenwich Citizens Advice Bureau Ltd
Citizens Advice Greenwich provides advice for people living, working or studying in the Royal Borough of Greenwich and to seafarers and their families across the UK. We need enthusiastic volunteers to join our trustee board to help steer the organisation.
We would like to recruit new Trustees to our Board. This is a voluntary role. Trustees provide vital support in the following areas: legal; governance; financial and act as the employer. We have a small, friendly Board. The Board meets five times a year on a Monday evening. Our aim is to have as diverse a Trustee Board as possible, in all ways. We would particularly welcome applications from people from the local community in Greenwich Borough, including those with lived experience of using advice services. We would like to invite applications from seafarers and/or those supporting seafarers and their families. We would also welcome people with fundraising experience, or experience in the advice or voluntary sector. In particular, we would like to recruit a trustee with a view to them becoming our Vice Chair. Citizens Advice Greenwich is an independent charity and company but also benefits from being a part of the national Citizens Advice service. We help people to solve problems. Our service provides free, independent, confidential and impartial advice to everyone on their rights and responsibilities. Last year we advised over 2,500 people on 10,000 new issues and raised £1.9 million in financial outcomes for our clients. We provide advice and casework to people in Greenwich Borough, and to seafarers across the U.K. The advice that we provide is of fundamental importance to our clients. It’s on issues such as benefits and Universal Credit; Debt; Housing and Employment. Our advice prevents homelessness; tackles debt and increases income for some of the most vulnerable people in London. If you are interested in becoming a Trustee, please contact emma.knight@greenwichcab.org.uk with a short summary outlining why you are interested in joining us as a Trustee.
