Committee Member

Tartan Talkers is a suicide prevention charity, which has been operating for three years. Their aim is to offer practical and emotional support, including advice and information, referrals, daily calls, group support, and more, that is tailored to the needs of people experiencing mental health issues.

In order to meet demand and ensure progress, the charity is seeking committee members to strengthen their board.
The charity aims to evolve from crisis-response to proactive prevention, by shifting their focus upstream, building community resilience, and equipping people with skills before they reach a crisis point.

To navigate this complex new landscape, their leadership team requires dedicated people with skills in strategic planning, who can foster a culture of innovation and fresh ideas.


If this sounds like you, get in touch today to help drive the charity forward, and be a voice and support for those who need it.
