Meet the new friendly face of The Wildlife Trusts!
Help shape nature’s recovery from Tees to Tyne. Become a Trustee at Durham Wildlife Trust Trustees are the people who oversee the work of the Trust, setting the strategy and making sure the organisation fulfils its legal duties and delivers its charitable aims. Trustees are drawn from the Trust’s membership, and work together as members of the charity’s Board. Trustees need to have a passion for the work of Durham Wildlife Trust, and the skills and knowledge needed to help the organisation grow. The Wildlife Trusts are wild about inclusion, and that means truly valuing the principles of equality, diversity and inclusion to bring about a stronger Wildlife Trust movement. Everyone should have the opportunity to experience the joy of wildlife in their daily lives.
Eagle-eyed readers may have noticed a refreshed logo on the front of this magazine. The Wildlife Trusts’ badger has evolved. For more than 100 years, Wildlife Trusts have been standing up for wildlife. The name and logo may have changed over the years, but our mission – to bring about land and seas rich in wildlife – remains the same.
Anyone who can support the development of a growing charity is encouraged to apply to become a Trustee. Applications are particularly welcomed from those who are currently underrepresented on our board, including people from minority ethnic backgrounds, people with disabilities, and those under 25 years old. The Trust is also seeking to increase Board level skills and knowledge relating to the agricultural, land agency and marketing sectors. Durham Wildlife Trust is committed to providing the right support to enable every trustee on our board to fulfil their role and have a rewarding experience. A trustee recruitment pack can be found at durhamwt.com/volunteering-opportunities and to arrange an informal conversation about becoming a trustee, please email the Chair of the Board at chair@durhamwt.co.uk
