Volunteer Board Members

As a member of the Board, you will operate at a strategic level and be determined to ensure the charity can be the best it can be whilst maintaining its core values.

In return for your enthusiasm, time and commitment, you will gain invaluable experience, including decision-making at a strategic level; risk, governance and financial management; and be involved with like- minded colleagues from all walks of life who consider, at times, complex issues and promote the Charity (and its services) at every opportunity.

All help makes a real difference and is greatly appreciated. To discuss/for further information please contact Shirley Finlayson at email: shirley@dphsaberdeen.org or telephone: 01224810222.


Experience required

Board members also attend various Committee meetings and strategy events throughout the year. We welcome interest from those who share our values and who can bring new thinking to how we operate and approach issues. We also wish our Board to be as diverse as those we serve and welcome those from all sectors of our communities.
