Wednesday 7th October 2020 October 9th Role: Trustee for The Rainbow Hub CIO Charity Interviews (online via Zoom): Friday
The board currently consists of the three founding Trustees. As we embark on planning our move forward into a Post COVID future, one with real challenges for our LGBTQ+ communities, we wish to expand the board to five Trustees. One of the existing Trustees is standing down, so we are looking to welcome three new Trustees to our board.
Hayden said: “The Stay Home Stay Homo print was initially just designed to go in my window at home. Lots of people took to walking during lockdown. I simply wanted to make an image to raise a smile. It’s wonderful that we’ve raised some money along the way too. I chose to donate to MindOut as a friend of mine suffers with their mental health and told me about the valuable work the charity does.”
