This role is subject to a Protection of Vulnerable Groups (PVG) check.

North Berwick Coastal Community Connections is a charity tackling social isolation in the North Berwick Coastal area. NBCCC has funding from the National Lottery Community Fund and the North Berwick Trust. We have five part-time members of staff working with over 40 volunteers and 100+ members.

Our services include the Scone Café weekly drop-in, Befriending, Buddy Walking, a monthly ‘Community Connections’ newsletter, Coffee Connections meet-ups and the Compassionate Community project on death, dying and bereavement.

We are currently recruiting for new Trustees to join the Board. We are particularly looking for a Secretary, Safeguarding Officer and Co-Chair, but roles are negotiable according to the candidate’s background and interests.

Trustees govern the charity. We aim to have a Board which covers the key areas in which we work, and we are now seeking to appoint additional Trustees who, ideally, have experience in any of the following areas:

• Small voluntary organisations
• Charitable Board trustee roles
• Safeguarding of vulnerable adults

That said, we also welcome applications from individuals with other relevant experience. Our Trustees have ultimate responsibility for the operation and development of the charity, including employability, compliance with legislation, fundraising, public relations and financial control.

This is an exciting time to join NBCCC as a Trustee as we launch new partnerships and explore new opportunities to help us respond to the ever-increasing demand for our support.

The principal responsibilities of a Trustee include attending and actively participating in regular Board meetings (usually held on a Tuesday evening, both virtually and face-to-face). Trustees bring their professional experience to help govern the charity and actively support the Project Manager. The time commitment required is a minimum of one day per month, including the Trustee meetings (of 1.5-2 hours per meeting). All Trustees are expected to share a passion and commitment to supporting socially isolated adults in the North Berwick Coastal area. Please note that this is voluntary, although reasonable expenses will be reimbursed.

If you think this opportunity sounds like you and want to help a unique local charity, please join us as a Trustee.

Are you looking for a role in which you will help to improve the lives of families across Scotland? Do you have the skills and determination to meet and exceed fundraising goals alongside your colleagues?

If you are someone with imagination, talent and expertise, we want to hear from you. You will have a proven ability to build trusting relationships and inspire further support towards the charity, as well as good research and record keeping skills.

It’s an exciting time for the charity with the launch of Standing Tall: A Strategy for Growth 2023 – 2028 to transform the care and support of Huntington’s families, expand specialist services and deepen involvement in clinical research and trials.

This follows two years of significant expansion in our specialist teams, growth in funding, a rise in media engagement, majority parliamentary support for our work, and the success of our ground-breaking Dance 100 events in Glasgow.

The Income Generation team is playing a key role in the delivery of our new strategy and our Community Fundraising Officers will enable us to take that vital next step.

The successful applicant will join an ambitious and hard-working organisation dedicated to families living with the challenges of Huntington’s disease, a devastating disease that changes the brain and causes severe and complex physical, mental and cognitive symptoms.

You will find a values-driven organisation, founded by families for families and recognised at national and international levels for its expertise and support delivered through a nationwide network of Huntington’s Disease Specialists, Specialist Youth Advisors and Financial Wellbeing Officers.
