Dunfermline Advocacy
- VO104192
Dunfermline Advocacy is a small local charity working in West Fife since 1992. They bring together local volunteers with vulnerable people, providing long and short-term support, understanding, and friendship to those who need it - they call this Citizen Advocacy.
Dunfermline Advocacy has a small staff team who support 70+ volunteers every year meaning that the charity is able to support over 150 vulnerable adults across West Fife. They support people with physical and learning disabilities, mental health issues, long-term or chronic health conditions, autism and dementia aged 16 and over.
They are looking for board members to support the direction and governance of the charity. Board members will attend meetings, make decisions on the direction of the charity, ensure good governance and act as ambassadors.
They are seeking applications from people with expertise in the areas of HR, legal, and IT.
