Woodlands Community Board

Woodlands Community is governed by a voluntary Board of Trustees.

Our Trustees are local residents and volunteers who are responsible for making strategic decisions about where we focus our activity to best support our local community. They also ensure that the organisation and its finances are well-managed. We currently have eight charity Trustees:

Martha Wardrop (Chair)

Morag Bain (Treasurer)

Juan Sebastián Sánchez

Marion Robertson

Pui Kei Wong

Sara Jane Mcintosh

Victoria Rowland

Vinishree Solanki

We are currently looking to recruit trustees with expertise or experience in:

Fundraising - including non-grant fundraising.
HR - to provide support on staffing issues and policies.

Our Board usually meets monthly.

The average time commitment we ask for from our Trustees is six hours per month.

For more information and to register an interest in joining our Board, please email our General Manager sarah@woodlandscommunity.org.uk.

Joining the Woodlands Community board is an opportunity to be a part of an active board that works closely with the team and volunteers in the delivery of the Trust’s mission and vision. While trustees tend to join because of an interest in one area of Woodlands work, they end up learning and gaining from exposure to the other areas of the Trust’s work. Between the monthly board meetings, trustees can often be found helping in the community garden, attending Woodlands clear ups, popping into our community café or attending a film screening of our anti-racist library. The experience of being on a board, and gaining an understanding of issues around strategy, governance and funding, can also aid people looking to build a career in the charity sector.
