We ask that you come to your role with an open mind and shape the role to optimise the expertise you bring to the Board.  It continues to be a challenging time for communities like ours, given the impact of COVID-19 on our operating model. We are therefore looking to recruit additional skills to our Board of Trustees to assist navigating these challenging times.
