Board Trustee Role
About us:
We are Alma Beacon (the operating name for Windsor Christian Action - Charity no. 11543080), a forward-thinking charity empowering disadvantaged and vulnerable people in the Windsor area to achieve better goals and outcomes. Three Projects sit within our Charity: - Windsor Homeless Project, Windsor Street Angels, and Windsor Foodshare. Currently, we are made up of 9 Trustees, 6 employees and over 200 volunteers. Our Charity’s purpose is to make an impact that matters for our “clients” who are often the most vulnerable people in society. People are at the heart of what we do.
Our constitution allows us to have a maximum number of 11 Trustees. Two of our Trustees retired at out last AGM and vacancies have arisen. As we continue to grow, we are seeking 2 further dedicated individuals to join our Board of Trustees. Our current Trustees have expertise in Corporate, Finance, Marketing, IT, Legal, Counselling and HR and our governance is therefore well managed. However, as Trustees retire by rotation, we are looking for the opportunity to strengthen and enhance the Board.
