Board of Trustees
About us
Venture Scotland helps the most vulnerable young people and those in recovery from addiction in Scotland transform their lives through a unique outdoor-based personal development programme. We are focused on sustainably growing our impact and anticipate a growing need for our programmes.
We are seeking Trustees who share our passion for providing personal development opportunities to our participants, who recognise the transformative power of the outdoors and who are interested in helping to shape the future of a charity that makes a real difference to lives.
Selection Criteria
We are seeking three candidates with the following skills/experience to balance the skills and experiences of our current board of Trustees:

- To bring diversified fundraising experience (in particular in relation to experience in Major Donors, Individual Giving, Corporate Fundraising and Business networks)
- To bring experience of engaging with the third and public sector in Glasgow
We are committed to increasing diversity at all levels of our organisation and welcome applicants from all backgrounds.

Our Board of Trustees meets every two months (mostly in Edinburgh and Glasgow with the option to join online). Trustees are also expected to participate in occasional ad hoc meetings, the AGM, and may be invited to join a Board sub-committee.
