Duncan Place Community Hub is a friendly, welcoming and inclusive hub in the heart of Leith. The charity provides a brilliant programme of community events, is financially sound and has a great team of staff managing the day-to-day tasks. There are currently seven Trustees from a variety of backgrounds and Duncan Place is now looking to welcome five more to the board. Trustees play an integral part in developing the strategic direction of the organisation, ensuring its good governance and overseeing the delivery of the organisation’s aims and objectives.

Experienced trustees are welcome, but you don’t have to have been a trustee before. Enthusiasm and a willingness to share your skills and offer guidance to your fellow trustees and staff is what we’re after. We’d especially like to add expertise in financial management, staff development, funding applications, information technology and legal knowledge in the areas of leases and contracts. Current trustees have skills in property, facilities management, marketing, treasury skills and community involvement. Further skills in these areas are also always welcome.

About Duncan Place Community Hub

Duncan Place Community Hub is a registered charity operating as a social enterprise. After being under threat of demolition, the building was saved by the local community, a charity was established, and funds were raised for a full refurbishment. Now a thriving and busy community centre in Leith, the hub has a growing programme of groups, classes and events. This brings folks together to share and learn, increase well-being, and reduce social isolation. Through providing secure and affordable long-term tenancies, the hub is also home to several other charities. Income from the long term leased space and from low cost activity fees means that the charity is financially healthy and has decent reserves. This innovative model means that the charity is able to use funds raised to respond to the communities needs without the need to rely on short term funding.
