**What does a board member do?**

In short, board members are regular people who volunteer to help charities grow and to safeguard their good practice. Strong Boards need people with diverse perspectives to help us make great decisions that support the community. Board members work together to ensure the charity conducts its services in an ethically sound and financially sustainable manner.

**What difference will I make?**

Our charity works with 1000s of local children and adults every year - from prevention work, to outreach, to emotional support, and advocacy. Your contribution on the Board is crucial to us maintaining and developing this reach..
