Could you help govern the Ramblers?

We’re looking for new trustees to help our charity grow and develop. Could you be one of them?

 

Who are we looking for?

We need five people to bring their skills and experience to the board of trustees. We are looking for a new chair, honorary treasurer and three ordinary members. You’ll share your insights, bring your own perspectives, and help ensure the Ramblers is delivering its charitable objectives.

We welcome applications from all parts of the membership, and actively seek to diversify the views and lived experiences represented on the board.

 

What’s involved?

Our trustees have collective responsibility for governing the Ramblers and directing how it is managed and run by our executive staff team. You won’t get involved in the day-to-day running of the charity, but your strategic oversight will shape our future and ensure we make best use of our resources in delivering our objectives. You'll serve a three-year term from April 2024, attending five board meetings a year plus other meetings and events as needed. Members of the Ramblers’ General Council will vote to elect our new trustees on 20 April 2024.

 

What’s in it for me?

Being a trustee can be a rewarding experience. You’ll be giving your time and expertise to a cause you feel passionate about, learning new skills, and developing a deeper understanding of our work and its outcome for walkers. We offer training and ongoing support to all trustees.
