Trustees Needed

Our trustees play a vital role in making sure that the South London Relief in Sickness Fund (SLRSF) achieves its core purposes.

The Fund is currently looking for additional Trustees to serve on its board. Trustees are volunteers who make sure that the Fund is managed properly and have the chance to make a direct difference to people’s lives. The main responsibility of the Fund’s Trustees is to assess applications, but they may also be involved in reviewing the management of the Trust such as the application process, financial management and recruitment. The Trustees meet quarterly in a hybrid meeting environment to consider applications.

Our aim is to have a diverse board of Trustees which reflects the community we serve and is representative of the range of applicants that apply for funding. As such, we welcome applications from people who have experience with mental health services, people with a disability, and people from an ethnic minority background.

Essential requirements:

• Potential Trustees must live or work in Lambeth or Wandsworth

Useful skills (not essential):

We are particularly looking to recruit Trustees with financial/investment experience or IT and/or website management skills. However, the following skills are also of benefit.

• Understanding of the range of disabilities and the diversity of the populations in Lambeth and Wandsworth; and/ or
• Understanding of the benefits system; and/ or
• Experience of the health and social care field; and/ or
• Understanding of grants
