We urgently require people to volunteer to join our board. The board needs new members in order to keep doing all the good housing and social care stuff we are doing but also to do much more.
No particular experience of being on a board is required ... we’ll help you learn if need be. The board has a majority of disabled people as members so if you have lived experience of needing social care or accessible housing.. or if you are a carer/family member then that’s great … you may find that you have other skills and abilities that you can offer.
We will fully support anyone who joins the board with any
training they require, transport/expenses and if need be Personal Assistance.
What does it involve I hear you say?
The Board meet, in Kirkcaldy, on the 2nd Thursday of the month in the afternoon.
There are other parts of our work you can get involved with if you want to but the monthly meeting is the central bit of being a member.
If you would like to find out more contact our Chairperson: Philip Revie
