Footsteps Foundation Request
Organisation Description
The Footsteps Foundation want every disabled child to have the opportunities to progress and reach their full potential.
Families of a disabled child face many financial challenges:
• 55 per cent of families with disabled children have a low income.
• The annual costs of bringing up a disabled child are three times greater.
• Parents caring for a disabled child face multiple barriers to work, making risk of poverty greater.
We know that many of the children who need intensive physiotherapy the most, come from families who are least able to afford it. Our priority is to offer support to these families so their child can attend Footsteps to receive the specialist intensive physiotherapy.
What are they looking for?
We are looking for a trustee to join our current board of 5 trustees.
Meetings can be online or in person to suit.
Footsteps is at an exciting time in transition as we are seeking to purchase our own property and expand the delivery of our physiotherapy service.
We would welcome a trustee who has business, legal, property or marketing skills please.
Timeframe:No deadline but a new trustee / trustees before summer 2025 would be helpful.
