7.1.9  Seeking Members for the Board of Directors of Volunteer Centre Aberdeenshire

With tens of thousands of volunteers adding real value to services provided by the voluntary and public sector in Aberdeenshire ever year, we strongly believe that volunteering contributes enormously to people’s lives and communities in the region. The Volunteer Centre in Aberdeenshire (VCA) exists to promote, support and develop volunteering in the shire.

We are a small but growing organisation with three offices and seven members of staff. We have established ourselves as a reputable organisation delivering quality services to volunteers and organisations involving volunteers. VCA is a Company Limited by Guarantee with charitable status, overseen by a Board of Directors with a wide range of experience from their involvement in the voluntary, public and private sectors. There are currently four Board meetings per year, with additional focus meetings as required. VCA is inviting applications from interested suitable candidates to join its Board. If you have an interest in the work of VCA, and you are able to offer commitment and have skills in any of the following areas, we would very much like to hear from you: 

• Fundraising
• Strategic Management
• Campaigning
• Marketing
• Business Skills
