Hey, we’re ProjectChange, and we’re looking for new trustees.

We want cool people—show us your cool or tell us you’re cool. Whether you’re an experienced trustee looking for a fresh challenge or someone curious about what this whole “trustee” thing is about, we’d love to hear from you.

You don’t need to be an expert or have loads of experience—just some passion and the willingness to show up.

Who Are We?

We’re unserious people doing serious things. ProjectChange is a small charity created by care experienced people, for care experienced people. We spend a lot of our time answering two things, how can we help people talk and how can we make people listen. For almost five years, we’ve been working with our community, (friendly) challenging systems across Scotland, and creating spaces where everyone feels like they belong.

We believe in the power of care experienced people leading change—and if you do too, you might just belong on our board.

What Do our Trustees Do?

Trustees help steer the charity, keeping it on track and making the big decisions. Here’s what it looks like in practice:

• 4–6 meetings a year, mostly on Zoom, so you can join from your couch.

• A chance to share your ideas and experiences to help shape our future.

• Working with a passionate team to make sure care experienced voices lead the way.

If you’re an experienced trustee, you’ll get the chance to take on something bold and different. If you’ve never done it before, don’t worry—we’ll guide you through and make sure you feel comfortable every step of the way. Whether it’s your first trustee role or your fifteenth, you’ll be part of something meaningful and exciting.

What’s the Process?

No long applications, no CVs. Just:

• Write something short (400 words max) OR

• Send a quick video (2–3 minutes)

Answering these two questions:

1. What change would you like to see for care experienced people, and how do you think we can get there?

2. Why do you want to join our board?

We’ll chat with everyone who applies. No stress, just a conversation about what excites you

North Glasgow Integration Network SCIO (NGIN) is currently seeking a new Treasurer. NGIN is governed by a voluntary Board of Trustees, who guide and oversee our organisation. Our board is made up of people from a variety of backgrounds and experiences, with an interest in supporting asylum seekers & refugees and all New Scots in Glasgow,

The main aim of NGIN is to support asylum seekers and refugees who are accommodated in North/North East Glasgow communities. Led by the needs and interests of people accessing the service, NGIN connects people with services that will support them and hosts and promotes tailored events and opportunities. The charity works with people on an individual and group basis to help them to feel safe, develop the confidence to integrate with the host community and to have an improved quality of life.

The treasurer would work closely with the lead worker to provide regular financial updates for the board, prepare annual accounts and budget forecasts and support the aims of the organisation through effective financial management of the funds received through grant awards and donations.

We are looking for an individual with an interest or experience in accounts and finances. We would also welcome skills in other areas relevant to the wider work of the board in steering the organisation such as social media, human resources, community learning & development, finance/fundraising or marketing. We are looking for candidates with a belief in social justice and financial inclusion and an interest in the wellbeing of New Scots. Given our aims and commitment to diversity, we encourage applications from all genders, the BAME community and people with additional support needs.

The position of treasurer is a voluntary position but travel expenses and other reasonable expenses accrued when carrying out the role will be paid.

Time Commitment

For the role of treasurer we ask for availability to attend online meetings with the lead worker once a month to effectively support the financial management of NGIN. As with all board members we are also seeking commitment to attend 1 board meeting per quarter, held online or in person, with email contact on matters arising between meetings. Alongside this, additional requests may be made for support with board activities such as recruitment of staff on an occasional basis.
