At SCDC, we believe communities matter.

SCDC is an independent charity in Scotland, designated as the lead national organisation for community development.

We are looking for new Board members to help lead SCDC into its next decade of development. If you are passionate about community development, democracy, social justice and community empowerment, this is your opportunity to make a difference to people and communities across Scotland. Applicants will have a value-led approach to the social justice agenda and a creative and innovative philosophy to the development of a key national organisation such as SCDC.

• Expert knowledge and experience of community development in a range of settings
• Business and strategic planning
• Experience of enterprise support

We are particularly interested in hearing from people with a disability, people from different ethnic groups, people with different faiths or religion, younger age groups and people with different sexual orientations or identities.
