As we continue to develop and strengthen our governance, we are especially keen to welcome trustees who can bring additional expertise in areas where our current board has skills gaps.

Experience in charity governance or leadership is an advantage, but the key qualities are strong judgement and analytical thinking, a genuine commitment to Fife Pride’s mission and values, the ability to work collaboratively with a wide range of people, and the confidence to offer constructive challenge and support while always acting in the best interests of the organisation.
