We are inviting anyone who would like to be one of our charity trustees to submit an application.

Being a trustee is about engaging with our members, attending monthly meetings, organising and supporting events as well as lots of other little tasks to do with the day-to-day running of the charity.

We are governed by a board which comprises up to 10 trustees, including the Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary, Treasurer and Vice-Treasurer. 

If you’ve got specific skills or experience you can bring – perhaps you’re an excellent events organiser or fabulous fundraiser; you like to support new parents or raise awareness in the local community.

If this is you, or you know someone who fits the bill and would make an outstanding trustee for the Swindon Down’s Syndrome Group – applications close on 31st March 2025.

Next steps…

1. Please read: ‘What’s required of a charity trustee, including your responsibilities to your charity’ 
2. Complete the application form 
3. Email it to secretary@swindondownsgroup.org.uk or post to: Secretary, Swindon Down’s Syndrome Group, 34 Periwinkle Close, Swindon SN2 2QH

What happens next?

All nominations will be considered by our current Board of Trustees, who will recommend those candidates to be put forward to the membership for election at our AGM in May. If successful trustees will in be post from 17th May for two years.
