Bromley Homeless have a vision of a community where everyone has access to a decent home and no one feels their only option is to sleep rough. Our mission, as an expression of Christian faith, is to provide support and positive intervention to empower anyone facing homelessness principally in the London Borough of Bromley to fulfil their desire for a safe and secure home and live a fulfilled life. Trustees are the people who serve on the governing body of a charity. They may be known as trustees, directors, board members, governors, committee members or something else. They have ultimate legal responsibility for the charity's management and administration.
Trustees come from all walks of life, professionals, academics, people with personal skills and lived experience and as a charity we benefit from a diverse mix of trustees, employees and volunteers. We are looking for someone who can complement the skills mix of the current trustees with a dedication to make a difference through their contribution to the work of the charity. This list of attributes is not a definitive list and we urge anyone interested in the role to get in touch to disuss and find out more.
