MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND GIVE BACK

Trustees play a key role in shaping the strategic direction of a charity and influencing how it serves its beneficiaries. You can directly contribute to the mission and impact of Fresh Futures by joining our board. Also, becoming a trustee is a way to give back to your community and support a cause you ' re passionate about.

PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Trusteeship provides opportunities to develop leadership, strategic thinking, and decision-making skills. You may gain exposure to new areas like finance, fundraising, or legal compliance, broadening your skillset. Additionally, trusteeship can broaden your worldview by providing insights into social, economic, and cultural issues. You may also strengthen your ability to approach complex challenges thoughtfully.

LEARN A CAUSE

By being involved with an organisation that aligns with your interests, you can deepen your understanding of a specific social issue or cause

ADVANCE YOUR CAREER

Serving as a trustee can demonstrate your ability to excel in a non-executive role, which can be valuable for your career. You may also gain valuable skills like financial management and strategic planning that are sought after by employers.

GAIN NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES

Trustees often work with other professionals including fellow trustees and stakeholders, expanding your professional network and supporting your professional development.
