ARE YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT SPORT?
WANT TO HELP CHANGE THE LIVES OF CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE?
THEN WHY NOT JOIN OUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES?
ABOUT US
Sport 4 Life (http://www.sport4life.org.uk/ ) is a local charity dedicated to bringing about real improvements to local communities and to the lives of children and young people most in need in Birmingham. We use sport as a tool to engage young people in a broader programme of training and development activities such as educational seminars, volunteering placements, and formal and informal training courses. Through this broader programme of activities we aim to achieve real, hard outcomes for our participants - improving physical and mental health and well-being, building life skills and employability skills, and transforming behaviour and attitudes. Sport 4 Life was set up in July 2006 as a small, charitable organisation. Since these humble beginnings we have grown to an annual turnover circa £250,000 and a staff team of 10 employees and numerous volunteers. We engage hundreds of disadvantaged beneficiaries in our projects every year, and we are at the forefront of using sport as a tool to change lives in the city of Birmingham.
ROLE
We are currently seeking to recruit 2 new Trustees to join our existing Board of 5 Trustees. This is an excellent opportunity to be actively involved in supporting and overseeing the growth of our young and dynamic charity, and to contribute at Board level to the strategic direction and decisions of the organisation. We are particularly interested in candidates with professional backgrounds in finance, business, fundraising, youth work, or sport, who have considerable experience of senior management. Trustees are required to commit to a minimum term of 3 years, and to attend Board Meetings in Birmingham up to 4 times a year. Meetings usually take place on Monday evenings from 4.30pm – 7.00pm, in February, May, August, and November. Trustees may also have the opportunity to assist with sub-committee meetings, strategy discussions, press opportunities, and other activities on an ad-hoc basis.
TO APPLY
To apply please send your CV and a cover letter outlining how you will contribute to the governance, growth and development of the organisation to james@sport4life.org.uk or by post to Sport 4 Life, Portland Pavilion, Portland Road, Edgbaston, Birmingham, B17 8LS by January 31st 2012. After shortlisting, successful applicants will be invited to an informal, evening interview in February 2012. For more details or to discuss the Trustee vacancies please contact James Forrest on 07950 395 699.
