Trustees

Become a Trustee at Rural Action Derbyshire

We are always keen to hear from people that might be interested in joining us as a Trustee.

Trustees play a vital role in guiding our strategy, supporting our executive team and ensuring we continue to make a real difference to rural communities across Derbyshire.

Previous board experience is not required, just a commitment to rural life, a willingness to learn, and the ability to contribute your insight and judgement.

  • Attending 4 Board meetings a year (usually 3 online, 1 in person in Matlock)
  • Reading and preparing meeting papers
  • Joining sub-committees or working groups if time allows
  • Helping to shape RAD’s direction and standing up for rural voices
  • It’s not an onerous commitment, but it is a meaningful one.

  • Reflect the diversity of rural Derbyshire (age, gender, race, disability, culture, sexual orientation)
  • Have lived experience of rural disadvantage (poverty, isolation, transport barriers)
  • Bring knowledge in areas such as housing, community development, digital inclusion, food or fuel poverty, health, domestic abuse, transport, fundraising, or the environment
