Trustees play a vital role in the life of Allsorts. It is their job to support the project and hold it to account, ensuring children and young people feel safe, listened to and supported, whilst they continue to explore, grow and feel more confident with their sexuality and/or gender identity.
An existing Allsorts Trustee commented: “The best part of being a trustee is seeing how your contribution has helped the children and young people who use the project, flourish. You will feel a deep sense of pride and satisfaction watching those who access the project’s services develop in confidence and a feeling of authenticity, as they find their way in a seemingly more critical world.”
Allsorts is particularly looking for people who have skills in financial management, marketing and PR and governance. By joining the trustee board at Allsorts, you will be joining a team that is responsible for ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction, holding the CEO to account for the performance of the project, and overseeing the financial performance of the project and making sure its money is well spent.
