It’s Trustees’ Week, and we want to say a huge thank you to the volunteers who govern Bell View.
Our trustees give their time, unpaid, so that the charity can keep supporting people across 300 square miles of rural North Northumberland. Over the past year they have steered us through a period of significant change, approving a new three-year strategy and strengthening our governance. They have read the papers, asked the awkward questions and sat through the long agenda items, and they have done it all with remarkably few complaints. We’re grateful to every one of them.
To say thank you properly, every current trustee will be offered an extra cup of tea at the next Board meeting. It’s the least we can do, and also very nearly the most.
We’d also like some company for them. Being a trustee is a hugely rewarding role. You help shape how Bell View supports people in our communities, and you join a Board at a genuinely exciting time. You don’t need to have been a trustee before, and you don’t need a particular background. What matters is that you care about this part of the world and are willing to give us your time and your honest view. The Board meets quarterly, we provide a full induction, and new trustees get the tea too.
If you’d like a conversation, phone us on 01668 219220 or email chair@bellviewbelford.co.uk.
