We are looking for Volunteer Trustees to join our current Management Committee at an exciting time in the development of The Vale of Leven Trust (VOLT). We have to date set up an Active Travel Hub temporarily located in Alexandria Town Centre. We are in the early stages of a weekend activity calendar of events for local people and the possible creation of a regular Outdoor Market. We are on the cusp of another large initiative, being a possible asset transfer of Alexandria Community Centre including setting up several social enterprise businesses. This will be informed by local consultation and feasibility studies in the town and surrounding areas over the next few months. Our day to day activities can be found on social media such as Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/valeofleventrust/) as well as twitter and Instagram. Our work has been informed by previous consultations the most prominent being our Place Standard Report undertaken in 2019 (https://bit.ly/VOLTplacestandard)
We are particularly interested in hearing from people who live or work locally and have an interest, skills or specialised knowledge in:
Financial Management
Marketing & Branding
IT / Data Management
Social Media
Employment / Charity law
Governance
Human Resources / People Management
