The Proud Trust is an LGBT+ youth charity, empowering LGBT+ young people to be proud of who they are. The charity delivers youth work and one-to-one support across Greater Manchester. It also runs the Rainbow Flag Award national training and inclusion programme for schools, Proud Connections Live Chat, and manages Manchester’s LGBT+ Centre, The Proud Place.
We are looking for a new Treasurer to strengthen and expand our board of trustees. If you are passionate about creating a better future for LGBT+ young people, and consider yourself to be experienced and have a strong understanding of charity finance management and controls, then we would love to hear from you.
As a trustee, you will shape and support the charity to improve our work, by sharing your skills and knowledge. Joining the board of trustees is a fantastic way to give back to the community as well as gaining new experiences and building relationships with other people who are passionate about supporting LGBT+ young people. All trustees are responsible for overseeing the charity’s finances, and must take steps to ensure the charity’s money is safe, properly used and accounted for.
Trustees give around three to five hours per month. In-person board meetings are held at The Proud Place in Manchester City Centre every three months on a Saturday from 10.30am-2.30pm. Out of pocket and travel expenses are paid. We are keen to remove any barriers to becoming a trustee and will facilitate reasonable adjustments such as paying travel costs up front, covering childcare or other accessibility needs. If you have any questions about this, please get in touch.
