Serve as a Trustee

Make a difference with SU Scotland

The ministry of SU Scotland is all about young people – our vision is to provide opportunities for every child and young person to explore the Bible and respond to the significance of Jesus. That is only possible because thousands of individuals volunteer their time, gifts and experience in a whole variety of different ways.

For some that will involve working directly with young people, others help support the charity behind the scenes, including within the governance structure.  SU Scotland’s ministry is overseen by a Board of Trustees and a number of Board Committees.  The Board ensures that the charity is well run, meets all of its legal requirements, and is responsive to the leading of God’s Spirit.

This is a period of growth and amazing open doors for SU Scotland ministry and there is an opportunity for some new Trustees to join the Board and be part of leading the organisation forward in these exciting times.  There are many areas where the Board would value expertise – fundraising, digital, media and communications, working with the disadvantaged, education and youth work, to name a few.

Do you have a heart for the young people of Scotland?  Do you have skills and expertise which could help support the development and growth of SU ministry?  Would you be interested in exploring the possibility of serving as a Trustee?  Over the next 18 months the Board will work through the process of selecting a new Chair.  Would you have the skills and experience to consider that role?

The Board meets seven or eight times a year and Trustees normally serve for an initial period of 5 years, with a possible extension for a further 3 years.  Meetings are usually in the evening, a mix of in-person and online. No previous experience is necessary, Trustee training will be provided on an ongoing basis.

Over the coming months there will be an informal interview process, including the opportunity to attend a meeting as an observer, with a view to making appointments at the AGM in August.
