Trustees Wanted - The Hollow Lane Club

Come and join the dynamic and passionate team running The Hollow Lane Club. We provide varied, rich and exciting experiences to children and young people with complex additional needs and have been operating for over 20 years.  We want to strengthen our Board of Trustees by recruiting a new Treasurer and other Trustees who can bring business and other skills and have an interest in supporting our work.   

The Hollow Lane Club provides After School, Saturday, Siblings, Social and Summer Clubs across 3 sites.  We work in partnership with the schools, that most of our children and young people attend and whose buildings we use for the Clubs.   We have a range of funders, including the National Lottery and Children in Need. Places at The Hollow Lane Club are subsidised by grant funding to ensure that services can be offered to all and that cost is not a barrier to access.  

The day to day running of the charity is done by a small part time employed team.  We have a team of experienced and dedicated workers, who are incredibly passionate about the club that we run. We are registered with OFSTED and have excellent feedback from familiesand the children and young people who come to our Club.  

We look to all Trustees to be our critical friends and bring their experience and expertise to the table.   

Treasurer Role 

The Treasurer will ensure good governance for our finances and they will need experience in financial management, business skills or knowledge of the voluntary and community sector or social enterprise: an accountancy qualification/knowledge of Charity SORP/budgetary and cash flow management. We will consider part qualified or trainee accountants looking for their first Charity role as long as they can provide us with the financial stewardship required.  

General Trustee Roles 

We are looking for Trustees with previous charity experience at board level and a willingness to continue to learn within the charity sector. Trustees need to have a good standard of literacy and numeracy, be able to work with a range of people and have good communication skills. 

As a volunteer for our Charity, you will benefit from the protection provided by our CIO Status.
