You would be working as part of a dedicated group of volunteers to direct and develop the Fulforth Centre and our programme of activities, alongside the Chair of Trustees and the Project Development Worker.

* Attending monthly Committee meetings (on Tuesday evenings) to review and monitor progress and agree further development;
* Ensuring that the charity is carrying out its purposes as appropriate;

* Taking on other voluntary responsibilities depending on your skills, experience and interest.
* Ability to listen
