Volunteer Trustee with HR or Marketing skills to join environment charity

What will you be doing?

BCFS has been a registered charity since 1989 selling reused and new furniture for those in need in our Bolton community. We work hard to improve our environment by collecting and reselling used furniture & paint and refurbishing electrical goods, working in close partnership with Bolton Council and several local housing associations and charities. We are now looking to strengthen our team of 3 trustees who oversee our operations. In particular we are seeking 2 – 3 people with recent experience in

HR Marketing

And managing a small business. This would be ideal for busy people who want to give something back but haven’t a lot of time to spare, as the likely involvement will be 2-3 hours 6 times a year, at times convenient to the individual. Remote attendance at board meetings can be accepted with Zoom, What'sApp and Facetime having already been used.  Skills, judgement and expertise are more valuable than time for BCFS.
