About Us

Women on Wheels Scotland is a Community cycling hub for women. It is a service designed and led by women, delivering a range of cycling activities to get women back on a bike, or on to a bike for the first time, and to nurture the peer support and community connectedness that is helping women to keep cycling.

The world of everyday cycling is dominated by a white male demographic. It is much less common for women to cycle for transport and leisure, especially women of colour. We have worked with women for over a decade to understand that they have a number of barriers to cycling, including lack of confidence, lack of access to a bike, being a parent/carer and lacking time/childcare, religious barriers (not allowed, cannot cycle with men, a need to wear certain clothes), cultural barriers, a lack of money to pay for such services, and health; but we know that these barriers are surmountable and that with the proper support women can successfully adopt cycling into their everyday lives.

Our permanent women's cycling hub is providing ongoing support and generating more opportunities for women and their families to get engaged with cycling and reap the benefits.

OUR VISION

Women on Wheels (SCIO) is an all-inclusive community where women cycling is the norm, not the exception, and where every woman feels confident to ride.

OUR MISSION

Women on Wheels empowers and enables women to overcome their barriers to taking up cycling - for transport, to improve their physical and mental health, and most importantly, for the pure joy of it.

The Women’s Activities Coordinator will be responsible for coordinating and delivering cycle training to a wide range of women from our Hub in Govanhill, Glasgow. This will include learning to ride cycle lessons ( group and 1 2 1 ), confidence building led rides, bike buddy and route navigation support, maintenance classes, bike touring programme as well as lots of social events aimed at those looking to start cycling or cycling more regularly. They will also run the bike lending library.

The ability to develop and nurture strong partnerships with community organisations across Glasgow is key to this role.

GCF is recruiting up to three new Trustees to replace members who are retiring from our Board over the next few months.

GCF’s Trustees work together to provide oversight to the organisation and support to the employees. We would particularly welcome applications from people with a background in issues related to poverty and inequality, teachers/social workers with experience of working with families in poverty and people with legal, financial or fundraising expertise.

There are a maximum of twelve Trustees. Trustees are initially appointed for up to 4 years and may be re-appointed for up to a further four years. New Trustees will be expected to join one of our three sub committees

The core aim of Glasgow Care Foundation (GCF) is to relieve poverty. Our mission is to help 10,000 people over the next decade. We provide essential household items to individuals and families in need, particularly to those who cannot receive assistance from other agencies. We also support key small local community and school projects throughout Glasgow. Details are available on our website

The Foundation has an investment portfolio of around £8m which is managed by external Investment Managers in accordance with the Board’s investment policy. Investment income of around £250k annually is used to fund grant giving and meet overhead expenses.

The Foundation has five part-time employees, a Welfare Officer, Trusts Manager, Fundraising & Business Development Assistant, Marketing Assistant and Accountant, who all work from home.

The Foundation has a Care Committee which supervises the Welfare work, the Marketing Committee which supervises the Trust, Fundraising & Marketing staff, and the Finance Committee who supervises financial control.

All new trustees will be supported through an induction and training programme to help you understand how our Board works, your responsibilities and to make sure you are comfortable and able to contribute successfully. More experienced Board Members will be available to support you. The role is voluntary and unpaid, but we hope that working with GCF will be a rewarding experience, helping to support vulnerable people in need.

Time Commitment

There are 6 Trustees’ meetings a year, in person usually at the Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice in Glasgow. Meetings are currently at 11am on Mondays and last approximately 90 minutes. At meetings we discuss and decide on policy, strategy and governance issues, provide oversight of the Investment Managers, review our financial position and approve grant applications. The Care Committee and Marketing Committees also have short online meetings approximately six times a year in addition.
