We are recruiting – Trustee

About this voluntary role

We are currently seeking a Trustee to join our dynamic board. Specifically, we are looking for someone with marketing and/or commercial experience and are keen to hear from anyone who thinks this opportunity might be of interest.

The Board of Trustees have overall responsibility for the governance of the charity. At the time of writing, the charity employs 6 staff – all of whom are part time staff, and has a volunteer team of 45.

The Board currently has 11 members and meets 5 times a year on a Thursday evening in Exeter. These are usually 2-hour meetings, with an extended strategy session in Autumn. All Trustees also sit on one of the four sub-committees (Finance, Fundraising, Personnel, Clinical Governance & Safeguarding).

What is it like to be a Balloons Trustee?

“Balloons trustees week are making a real difference in our local community, helping support children who are going through the most difficult time.

I feel proud to volunteer alongside my fellow trustees, who individually bring a wealth of experience and passion to their roles. I also feel grateful that I am able to support the hardworking staff team, who always keep the children and our supporters at the heart of what we do.

Balloons may be small in size, but they are definitely mighty in impact and I have really enjoyed being involved. If you are thinking of becoming a trustee, I would definitely recommend it.”

Hannah Roberts – Vice Chair and Chair of Fundraising Committee
