• who can be available for Trustee meetings online every three months for around two hours, with the aim for a once a year in person meeting in West Sussex
• with financial skills and experience and/or an interest in figure. You do not have to be an accountant, but they are particularly looking to recruit a Trustee for the post of Treasurer within the Charity.
• who can bring a lived experience voice about mental health and trauma to the Trustees’ conversations, and for Trustees who can help them be more inclusive of the voices from underrepresented racial and cultural communities
