Peer Action seeks new trustees

Peer Action, a volunteer-led HIV support group and a registered charity, is currently looking to recruit new trustees. Some of the group’s current trustees are temporarily filling in roles during the recruitment process. Peer Action stresses that trustees do not have to be HIV+ nor do they need to live in the Brighton area.

The roles that need filling are;

Chair: Works in partnership with the board of trustees and supports the volunteers, helping them achieve the aims of the charity. The chair will optimise the relationship between the board of trustees and volunteers, and facilitate the board of trustees in carefully considered strategic decision-making.

Secretary: Ensures meetings are successfully organised and minuted; maintains effective records and administration; upholds the legal requirements of governing documents, and charity law.

Treasurer: Monitors the financial standing of the charity and reports to the Board regarding cash-flow forecasting, income streams, out-going expenses and the overarching strategic management of the charity’s financial resources.

Therapy coordinator: Recruits, assesses and supports volunteer therapists in a variety of roles to provide support to members.

Digital resources: Monitors the digital health of the charity and reports to the Board regarding the overarching strategic management of the charity’s digital resources.

In addition, Peer Action is also looking for trustees to help plan strategy and events and fundraising.
