Voluntary Trustee

Gloucester

Fair Shares Gloucestershire is inviting expressions of interest for the role of trustee.

Fair Shares is an innovative organization whose purpose is to promote and deliver time
banking in Gloucestershire. Time banking is the mutual exchange of time, skills and
opportunities. Everyone's time is valued equally and everyone gives to and benefits from
being a part of the time bank. No two time banks are the same. The approach is applied
differently in different settings, but the fundamental principles remain the same, that time
banks contain immense human experience and skills that can be shared within a community.

Participants ‘deposit’ time in the time bank by spending a few hours contributing their time
to individuals or to group activities in their local community: they might do a neighbour’s
shopping, offer singing lessons, computer skills, gardening or a multitude of other activities.

They are then able to withdraw these ‘time credits’ by drawing on the time and skills of
other time bank members or by participating in other group activities such as outings.
We are actively seeking to recruit trustees with financial expertise.

We are also looking for any of the following skills:

• Knowledge of criminal justice work
• Legal expertise
• HR expertise
• PR and marketing expertise
• In depth knowledge of the local community

Trustees are asked to attend a meeting approximately bimonthly in Gloucester, and to
spend some time with staff and time bank participants to gain a full understanding of the
work of Fair Shares.

If you are interested, or require further information or an informal chat, please contact us via either one of the emails addresses to the right of this advert
