Edinburgh Nightline is a listening, emotional support and information charity, run by students, for students. We’ve been operating as a student-run organisation since 1970, and became a registered charity in 2024. We operate a call service and an instant messenger service, open from 8pm to 8am during term-time. We aim to support students across Edinburgh, with backing from Edinburgh’s Higher Education Institutions – the University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh Napier University, Queen Margaret University, and Heriot-Watt University.

We are undergoing a period of rapid development. In the past year, we have begun the assessment process for Helplines Standard Certification, expanded our fundraising and publicity outreach, and increased our volunteer numbers. As the Board is currently made up of a small team of former volunteers, we are seeking to bring on specific expertise to guide the charity forward.

Vacancies

About the Role

Trustees have collective legal responsibility for Edinburgh Nightline’s management and administration. They are accountable to both the organisation’s stakeholders and the Scottish Charity Regulator for the good governance of Nightline.

Practically, trustees are responsible for oversight of the Committee, who manages the day-to-day operation of Nightline. The Committee is made up of volunteers, headed by two Coordinators.

Trustees must take considered and informed decisions in the best interests of the organisation. Trustees are not expected to be experts on all areas of their work but are expected to seek guidance and support where necessary and to bring their own knowledge and experience to contribute to discussions.

Meetings once every 2 months. Other ad-hoc commitments may include:

• Responding to queries via email/Slack
• Considering matters by correspondence
• Attending volunteer meetings and training days

On average, please expect to commit around 6 hours per month.

Selkirk Regeneration (SR) is a community charitable organisation with a broad remit to support the social, economic and environmental prosperity of Selkirk and its environs (TD7 postcode area). We have several well-established projects including developing a Local Place Plan with the community, delivery of the

Sustainable Borders energy advice service and managing a community pop-up shop in Selkirk High Street. We have investigated options for various community-owned renewable energy projects, including wind, solar and hydro, and most recently have led a feasibility study into a Local Energy Club as the most viable project in current circumstances. Selkirk Local Energy Club

The Selkirk Local Energy Club is a proposed community-led pilot that aims to help Selkirk make better use of renewable electricity generated locally. The club will use both domestic and business rooftop solar electricity generation to supply electricity to local households and businesses and community buildings on a local electricity tariff.

In simple terms, the model links local renewable generators with local households, businesses and community buildings that use electricity. The electricity still flows through the national energy grid, so members do not need a new physical connection to the generator. Instead, the Local Energy Club uses a commercial and billing arrangement to match local generation with local demand. When local renewable electricity is generated and used by participating members, members benefit from lower energy bills, while generators can receive a fairer return than standard export arrangements.

With external independent technical support, we have examined the feasibility of the project and developed a business plan; both demonstrate that this can be a realisable and viable scheme. Our next step is to establish a pilot scheme to convert this exciting vision into reality. We believe this will be the first distributed rooftop solar energy scheme in the Scottish Borders and will create a model that can be widely replicated by other communities.

The pilot will focus on moving from feasibility into live operation. This will involve commencing supply to participating members and monitoring the model over an initial 6-12 month period. The pilot will capture data on local electricity matching rates, bill savings, generator revenues, export performance, administrative costs and operational learning.

This evidence will be used to confirm that the Local Energy Club is technically, commercially and administratively viable, and whether it could be scaled up to include more members, more generators and wider community benefit activity in future.
