Trustees Wanted – Help Shape the Future of Our Charity
Our purpose is to provide early years childcare and education to children prior to their starting formal school. The impact of Purley Preschool is evident in the nurturing and stimulating environment it creates for young children, which supports their development and readiness for school. Our organisation is committed to quality childcare and preschool education. This is reflected in our most recent OFSTED inspection report, and positive feedback from families. We focus on fostering children’s personal, social and emotional development as well as physical skills through outdoor provision including Forest School and Intergenerational Sessions.
Join our Board of Trustees: We’re seeking enthusiastic, skilled professionals to join the existing Board of Trustees of our Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO).
Who can apply? Anyone interested can apply—you don’t need to have a child attending our Preschool.
We are particularly interested in individuals with experience in:
- Chairing and governance
- Charity administration / Company Secretary duties
- Fundraising and income generation
- HR and people management
- Recruitment and workforce development
- Marketing, communications and social media
- Finance, legal or strategic planning
As a trustee, you’ll have the opportunity to influence decision-making, support growth, strengthen governance – supporting the on-going success of our charitable organisation whilst making a meaningful impact in our community. No previous trustee experience is required. If you can bring professional skills, fresh ideas and a commitment to our mission, we’d love to hear from you.
