This is a pivotal moment for the charity; we can’t wait to get started with building our new board and making positive steps forward." “The role of trustee is a voluntary one and as a member of the board you will play a vital role in guiding the vision of the charity, whilst seeing the direct impact you have on the lives of those affected by brain injury.” The charity is keen to hear from people with a background in business, fundraising, commissioning, public relations, marketing, social media, finance, social care, and with clinical experience in the field of brain injury. However, those with other skills that would complement its boards are also encouraged to apply. “There is often a lot of confusion around what it means to be a trustee.” Carla continued. “Many people think they are not experienced enough, old enough or skilled enough to take on this role, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Headway Bath welcomes both experienced trustees and people who are interested in becoming one for the first time.” “We are looking for people with a diverse range of skills and experiences who could really help make a difference to the lives of those with brain injury. We want to bring in committed professionals with lots of passion, enthusiasm, and new ideas.” “Trustees are in the unique position to really blaze a trail and it’s a very important and creative role.” Those applying to be trustees should expect to attend either monthly or bi-monthly board meetings, and local networking/promotional events. Trustees should also expect to occasionally visit the day services to meet clients, staff, and volunteers. Trustees must be aged 18 and over. Trustees will be offered support, training, and networking opportunities through Headway’s national and local networks.

The Community Farm Brief Description of Organisation The Community Farm is a community-owned not-for-profit organic farm that grows, sources and delivers nourishing produce via our award winning veg box scheme. Every year thousands of local people benefit physically and mentally from our communities programme. Visit Website Full Description of Organisation The Community Farm (“The Farm”) grew from the Transition Towns movement. It is a community-owned and supported organic farm founded by volunteers in 2010. Our purpose is nurturing relationships with the land, food and wildlife through an organic Community Farm. By farming in harmony with nature, we produce food that benefits the climate and biodiversity rather than damaging it. By nurturing relationships, we spread that impact into our community, and help others understand how their food choices impact the environment. Community is key to everything we do: we aim to grow community as much as food. Here communities are the webs of life that are connected with the farm. From the microbes in our soil to the birds in the hedges to our members and the people caring for our land, our habitats and growing our crops, to those buying, packing and delivering our boxes. Working with our communities, we grow, source and deliver organic produce and groceries to customers within 15 miles of The Farm, via our award-winning weekly veg box scheme and wholesale customers. Supporting this we run engagement activities. These include volunteering sessions, outreach activities, an intensively supported wellbeing programme, school programmes and food, farming and wildlife events on our beautiful land overlooking Chew Valley Lake, 11 miles from Bristol and Bath. Our engagement activities bring people together to gain skills and learn about sustainable, low impact and organic horticultural practices, as well as the opportunity to connect with and learn about the land and its inhabitants. The Community Farm was founded as a Community Benefit Society; a structure that promises to exist only for the purposes of its community, and the rules it has agreed it will abide by.
