Racism Stops People Living the Life They Deserve.

Join the Board of Score Scotland and Make a Difference in Your Community

About SCOREscotland

We work in partnership with local organisations to tackle the root causes of racism and social exclusion. We provide vital support to families, children, and young people affected by racism, with a strong focus on minority ethnic communities.

Based in Wester Hailes, our small but dedicated team delivers community-based activities, outreach programmes, and opportunities that empower people to fully participate in local community life across South West Edinburgh and beyond.

We’re looking for new Non-Executive Directors to join our Board, with a particular focus on:

• People from minority ethnic communities living in Wester Hailes or surrounding areas;
• Young Black people (18+);
• People with lived experience of racism and social exclusion;
• Individuals who can contribute skills, experience, or insight in one or more of the following areas: fundraising and finance, child protection, risk management, human resources, community learning & development, marketing, communications and policy development. You do not need prior Board experience — support, training and guidance will be provided;
• We are particularly seeking a Treasurer.

About the Role of Board Members

As a Non-Executive Director (Board Member), you will:

• Help shape SCOREscotland’s strategic direction;
• Provide oversight, support, and constructive challenge to the Management Team;
• Ensure the organisation is well-governed, financially sustainable, and true to its values.

Board Members meet regularly (currently every two months) and work collectively to ensure the charity operates effectively and in line with Scottish charity law.

Our Commitment to Inclusion

SCOREscotland is an inclusive organisation. We particularly welcome applications from young Black people and individuals from minority ethnic backgrounds within the communities we serve, but applications from all communities are valued and encouraged to apply.
