Want to be a Trustee of Whittington Park Community Centre?
Our community centre is the heart of local life—a place where people connect, learn, grow, and
support one another. As a trustee, you’ll play a vital role in shaping its future, ensuring it remains
inclusive, vibrant, and responsive to the needs of our community.
What Does a Trustee Do?
​
Trustees are the guardians of our mission and values. They help steer the strategic direction of the
centre, oversee its financial health, and ensure we meet our legal and ethical responsibilities. This
is a governance role—not a day-to-day operational one—but your insights and decisions will have
a lasting impact.
Key responsibilities include:
-
Attending trustee meetings (every other month, on Wednesday evenings)
-
Reviewing and approving budgets, plans, and policies
-
Supporting fundraising and community engagement efforts
-
Acting as an ambassador for the centre in the wider community
We ask for a minimum commitment of three hours per month, which includes meeting
attendance and preparation time.
What Skills Do We Need?
​
We welcome people from all walks of lift. You don’t need prior board experience—just a passion
for community & a willingness to learn. That said, we’re especially keen to hear from people with
skills in:
-
Finance or accounting
-
Legal or governance
-
Fundraising or marketing
-
HR or organisational development
-
Community engagement or youth work
-
Digital transformation or IT
Equally important are soft skills like:
-
Good judgment and integrity
-
Teamwork and communication
-
Strategic thinking
-
Commitment to diversity and inclusion
Why Join Us?
​
Being a trustee is a meaningful way to give back. You’ll help shape a space that brings joy,
support, and opportunity to hundreds of people. You’ll also gain valuable experience in leadership,
governance, and community development.
If you’re ready to make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
