Volunteer your skills
Being a trustee of a local voluntary organisation is very rewarding. With a few exceptions, anyone aged over 18 can be one.
Trustees are responsible for the running of a charity, its finances, property, employment of any staff or volunteers and for making sure it complies with the law.
If you are enthusiastic and have good life skills then being a trustee could be for you. Professional skills such as managerial, legal or financial are always useful but not essential and lifestyle skills are just as important.
