Charity registered in Scotland SC034267
FVSC provides support on coping with sensory loss and how to manage on a daily basis. Advice and information is available on a range of services and equipment from the centre and from other organisations. Support from others who have been through similar experiences and a wide range of social activities including arts and crafts, exercise and lip reading.
Forth Valley Sensory Centre (FVSC) is a unique, award-winning Charity based in Camelon. We cover the whole of Forth Valley providing a wide range of high-quality activities, groups, and services for people of all ages with Sensory Loss.
We are looking for new volunteer Trustees to join our Board at a significant time for both FVSC and the wider sensory sector in Scotland. New Trustees will have the opportunity to support the development and transformation of services, so they further extend our reach.
As a Trustee, you will work collaboratively with fellow Board members and the Centre’s leadership team to support FVSC’s long-term sustainability, governance, and strategic direction. You will be encouraged to contribute your independent insight to ensure robust decision-making processes are in place.
Our Board meets quarterly, in person, at the Sensory Centre. In addition, Trustees usually meet for an annual development day.
We are particularly interested in applicants with one or more of the following:
- An interest in, and empathy with, the needs of people living with hearing loss, deafness, sight loss
- Finance and Commercial Strategy experience
- Governance and Compliance experience
- Building Management and Maintenance experience
- The ability to become an ambassador and help raise the profile of the Charity
As well as relevant experience, FVSC is looking for people with integrity, good judgement, emotional resilience, the confidence to share their views and a willingness to contribute to discussions. You don’t need previous Trustee experience — we welcome people from a range of ages and backgrounds.
