Green Health Thames Valley Request

Organisation Description

Green Health Thames Valley is a small charity that provides horticultural therapy support for people with mental health challenges. We operate in a small community garden in Whitley two days a week throughout the year. There is more information about our work here: https://greenhealththamesvalley.org.uk/

What are they looking for?

We are seeking trustees to help us set the strategic direction of the charity. Trustee responsibilities include:

● Ensuring the charity is carrying out its purposes for the public benefit
● Complying with the charity’s governing document and the law
● Acting in the charity’s best interests
● Managing the charity’s resources responsibly
● Acting with reasonable care and skill
● Ensuring the charity is accountable

Trustees are expected to attend board meetings every two months, which take place in the early evening for around 90 minutes. Trustees are also expected to take time to carefully review any shared papers ahead of these meetings, e.g. a finance report. Trustees may also take on additional duties, which may be specific to your expertise (e.g. the treasurer will review accounts), or more general, such as contributing to the development of a strategic document. There is an average time commitment of approximately 4 hours a month. We are particularly interested in hearing from people who have a background in marketing and promotion.
