We’re looking to strengthen our leadership team with the addition of a few new directors for the board, and are specifically looking for skills in governance, marketing and engagement, and fundraising and partnership development.
Our small team of directors meets every two to three months, so the commitment isn’t big. We might prepare a short paper each on what we’ve been up to, as we each have our own areas of responsibility, and we have to read information in advance on the finances, approve policies and discuss Share Bristol’s strategy and performance.
Share Bristol has one part-time employee, working 15 hours a week. This isn’t much, so the director role can be hands on at times. However, volunteering in the Library of Things is fun and really helps with a deep understanding of how we run and who we serve – you get to spend time with great volunteers, have chats with members as they come in, explain what we do and who we are to people who drop in, and most importantly pick up and drop off the things you have borrowed yourself!
If you have a few hours to spare each month, and want to do your bit for the environment and community inclusion, then please get in touch!
