Trustee (also general volunteers)

Bristol Link with Beira is looking for Charity Trustees

Gain experience and develop skills – join a passionate volunteer team doing some great work in Bristol for Beira, Mozambique.

Bristol Link with Beira www.bristolbeiralink.org/ supports projects making real difference to the lives of people in Bristol’s twin city Beira, Mozambique, whilst raising awareness in Bristol about how global issues of Social Justice and Climate Change affect Beira. BLB has been involved in projects in Bristol and Beira for many years, encompassing:

• Education and Health
• Community and Civil Society
• Climate Change and Energy
• Culture and Sport

BLB is targeting SDG 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities and SDG 17 Partnerships for the Goals. We work through non-profit organisations in Beira and the civic authorities.

We are looking for volunteers based in or around Bristol, who are passionate about global environmental and social justice issues. Experience and/or knowledge of Sub-Saharan Africa is welcome but not essential, as are Portuguese language skills. Previous board/trustee experience is not necessary, and we welcome applications from all ages and backgrounds.

Trustees pro-actively contribute to our activities by joining a Working Group which meets virtually every other month. The Trustee Board also meets every other month, alternately virtual and in Bristol. Meetings are held outside working hours.

Trusteeship can be good for personal and professional development, as a tool to gaining new skills or achieving a more a positive well-rounded balance in their life. Being a trustee can help you be happy!

For an informal chat about BLB or becoming a Trustee contact davespurgeon@blueyonder.co.uk   

If you are already interested, as a Working Group volunteer and/or as a Trustee please send info.bwithbeira@gmail your CV and a short expression of interest.
