The role is flexible and designed to fit around your other commitments. It includes:
* Around 4 Board meetings a year (weekday evenings)

* Acting as an advocate for the work
What you'll get in return?
* Experience of helping an organisation transition to charity status
* A chance to work alongside a passionate, creative team
* Opportunities to see the work up close-parades, events, workshops
