Charity registered in Scotland SC050811
The Agnes Hunter Trust SCIO is an independent charitable Trust based in Edinburgh.
We currently offer grants to registered charities in Scotland that specifically support disabled people.
With an annual grants budget of around £600,000/yr, we assist charities’ service delivery and core costs, and strive towards open and trusting grant-giving practice.
This is an exciting opportunity for candidates to assist in the progression of the Trust and we are seeking particular skillsets that will complement the current Board. We would like to recruit:
The Trust recognises the benefits of a diverse Board and therefore encourages applications from a range of ages and backgrounds. Previous Board experience would be advantageous, although it is not compulsory as we can offer support, mentoring opportunities and signpost to training sessions.
The current Board of six members meets in Edinburgh four times per year for half-day sessions, plus other ad-hoc meetings online or in-person. The initial tenure is for five years, renewable for a further three years. The position is voluntary but reasonable expenses are reimbursed.
