Would you like the opportunity to develop your experience in the community sector and support a flourishing women’s organisation?

We’re looking for a new Chair for the Glendale Women’s Cafe Board of Trustees!

The Glendale Women’s Cafe creates a cohesive neighbourhood in Pollokshields by empowering local women. We offer a safe and welcoming space in which women can come together to learn, create, enjoy and support each other.

In this role, you will help shape the direction and governance of the organisation, supporting the fantastic board and staff team to deliver a variety of social and well being opportunities for the women of Pollokshields.

Becoming the Chair of Glendale Women’s Cafe

Right now is a really exciting time to join Glendale, as we embark on our 3 year strategy for the organisation. In the last 10 years the organisation has grown and developed, and we are now in a position to begin the next phase of our work. To support us in this we have lined up development and strategy sessions with Kinharvie, who will help guide the board into this next phase. Joining the board as the Chair now means playing a very valuable part in this direction, and will have a meaningful lasting impact on the lives of the women who are part of the cafe community.

What we can offer our new Chair

• External mentoring from the Cranfield Trust
• Training and development opportunities, particularly around leadership and charity governance.

Time Commitment

Time commitment is a big question for most people when thinking about joining a board; especially in the role of Chair.

We hope that the time you give to Glendale will be rewarding and beneficial to you, however, we will do our best to make sure the role can work around your life, work and other commitments. Please note we meet six times a year, usually on Tuesdays during cafe hours (9am-3pm).
