Birmingham and Solihull Women's Aid

We are seeking potential Trustees to assist in the governance of our organisation. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in shaping the strategic direction of a successful charity.  Women’s Aid helps in shaping the response to violence against women and ensuring the safety and wellbeing of women and children who experience domestic violence.  We offer a range of services from accommodation to support in the community.

We are particularly keen to receive applications from those with skills in financial management, fundraising, company and charity law, marketing and public relations. Trustees will be provided with induction and ongoing support to develop their role. This is a voluntary position but travel and other out-of-pocket expenses will be met.

How to apply: If you are interested in using your skills and experience to make a difference for women and children affected by abuse, please email angela.hands@bswaid.org
