Welcome House is looking for compassionate individuals to join our Board of Trustees to work with us on the next stage of the Charity’s development.
Our mission is to see refugees and asylum seekers empowered to build and lead fulfilling lives, connected to local services, integrated with local communities and actively contributing to society in the Hull & East Yorkshire area.
We are a young charity, only formed in 2020, and we are continuously transforming the way we operate; we are very proud of where we are today and excited about the opportunities our future brings to support asylum seekers and refugees in our community.
Our volunteer trustees lead the development of our charity not only with the skills and expertise that they bring but also their values and commitment to our mission. We have six Board meetings a year and there is an opportunity to become involved in other work streams of interest to you.
We hope that you see this as a rewarding opportunity to help shape the future of an important charity working with partners across Hull and East Riding to improve the lives of people we see as individuals with all their strengths, experience, resilience and spirit, not defined by their migration status; understanding that each individual is unique, and that no process nor principle can replace compassion, respect and humanity.
We would especially like to hear from people who reflect the diversity of our communities in Hull. If you would like to find out more about becoming a trustee for Welcome House, please email hello@welcomehousehull.org.uk with your contact details and when is a convenient time to talk to you and our Chair, Trish Dalby, will be in touch.
