Are you interested in women’s economic equality? Can you help the Scottish Women’s Budget Group move to the next phase of its development?
SWBG is a membership organization using research, advocacy and training to build a more equal and caring economy in Scotland. We are recruiting new Board members to help set the strategic direction of SWBG and contribute to our work.
About us
SWBG brings together a wide range of women from across Scotland who have an interest in women’s equality and want to achieve better gender equality in our society. Our mission is to promote equality through gender budgeting to build a fairer and more equal Scotland.
SWBG is an inclusive organisation committed to feminist values and actions. We are committed to dismantling stereotyping and bias and to challenging personal discriminatory attitudes and structural discrimination and inequality. There is no place in a feminist organisation for racism, homophobia, transphobia, sectarianism or any other oppressive ideology.
We use campaigning, research and training to achieve our goals. We hope that by working with women, communities, statutory and voluntary agencies, trades unions and other partners – including government – we can make public spending more effective and responsive to the lives of women in Scotland.

We are keen to bring in new trustees (2-3) who can strengthen our existing skillset and support us in the next stages of development.
