Trustee
Thornbury Town Trust
Trustee for local charity. Four meetings / year plus email correspondence for decision-making.
Thornbury Town Trust is seeking to appoint a Trustee to join the board. The Trust owns property and Daggs Allotments, and uses rental and investment income to support those in need in Thornbury with grants and Christmas gifts. We also have four almshouses for local residents. Trustees should either live or work in Thornbury, or have a special knowledge of Thornbury in some other way. The Trustees meet four times a year on a Friday morning at the Thornbury Town Hall for a meeting . At other times, Trustees are required to consider grant applications and other issues via email.
Trusteeships & Committees
Basic IT skills - internet & email
The role requires you to have a private email address that you can use easily. In addition to that, we would hope that you will bring thoughts, opinions and insight into all our discussions and decisions relating to the charity so that we have a diverse and well-considered baseline.
You will get the satisfaction of being one of the decision-makers in what is 'probably' Thornbury's oldest Charity, set up in 1890 and continuing to provide positive impact over 130 years later.
Four meetings per year on a Friday morning, plus fairly regular email discussions between Trustees about issues and decisions. There is also opportunity to get involved in other ways if you choose to, such as joining a fire alarm rota for the almshouse, attending Almshouse Association training days, or even giving prizes at the annual Daggs summer BBQ!

The role is mainly via email correspondence from your home, with four meetings per year at the Thornbury Town Hall, 35 High Street, Thornbury, BS35 2AR. Trustees also have opportunities to visit Daggs Allotments and the Almshouses located in Thornbury.
