The Roots Foundation Wales Request

Organisation Description

The Roots Foundation Wales empowers young people in care on their transition to independent living and to progressing positively into adulthood. We achieve this through a creative, innovative, and dynamic service based in Swansea, providing services across the region and advocating in Wales.

What are they looking for?

We are seeking to enhance our board in order to embed a new strategic plan and provide support to the growing number of employees. We are particularly keen this time to recruit Trustees with relevant lived experience, such as care leavers, and also in recruiting a Treasurer. As the organisation grows, it is important that we have a Trustee experienced in financial management, who can oversee the accounts and budgets as well as advising on the financial implications of the new strategic plan.
We meet as a Board every two months. The Trustees will be provided with the relevant papers in advance of meetings, preparation and reading for the meeting usually takes about an hour. The monthly commitment is approximately 6 hours per month. The Trustees also meet twice a year in person at Roots, usually in the spring for half a day and autumn for a full day.
We are seeking Trustees that will also be visible and engage in activities at certain times of the year, for example celebrating successes, supporting activities such as trips with young people and be public facing where agreed to promote the organisation.
