Cumbria CVS is looking to recruit new trustees to join our board of trustees.

• Are you driven to make a difference?
• Do you wish to support a strong voluntary sector working collectively across Cumbria for the greater good?
• Are you a people-focussed individual?
• Do you value diversity, integrity, respect and transparency?
• Are you looking for a new opportunity to develop your skills?

Cumbria CVS are looking to enhance the strengths of our existing board by recruiting new trustees.  The role of trustee is vital for holding the organisation to account and ensuring public confidence, for determining the overall direction of the organisation and providing leadership.

#cvsvolunteerhour

On Wednesday 4 November from 8-9pm, Cumbria CVS will be leading on our Cumbria CVS Volunteer Twitter Hour. The aim is to bring together organisations and trustees from across Cumbria but also to raise the profile of trustee volunteering and recruit and recognise trustees in Cumbria. As it will be Trustees’ Week the topic is: Celebrating Trustee’s and Trustee Volunteering Opportunities. So come join in and tweet your trustee volunteering opportunities and photographs of your trustees to say thank you and celebrate Trustees’ Week 2020.
