Glasgow Watersports Ltd (Pinkston) is now 10 years old. Our charity is a unique social enterprise, urban sports hub for the community and a thriving legacy project from Glasgow 2014.
We are home to Scotland’s only artificial white-water course, supporting paddlesports and rescue service training nationally. We offer meeting and training rooms, a full delivery programme aimed at schools, clubs and uniformed groups, storage for clubs, colleges and businesses who focus on paddlesports, and a growing offering to the general public.
Our sealed canal basin has bathing quality water, and we aim to continue to increase participation across our communities. We have a fully accessible pontoon, and an ever-widening range of services aimed a many different groups across the city.
We are currently looking to recruit to our volunteer Board. Our volunteer commitment is around 4 hours per month, which will include a Board meeting approximately every 2 months. We have a fantastic and broad range of skills represented but we are keen to build on this with sales/marketing skills, charity, HR or with a construction/ engineering background. We would particularly welcome applications from younger people and people living in our local community. Of course, Pinkston is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes inclusion and diversity.
