Battersea Trustees

It is incredibly rewarding! I have gained experience in chairing committee meetings and learnt lots from working alongside knowledgeable Trustees.

You need to be prepared to take on tasks in between meetings, to really add value. .

Being a Trustee is extremely rewarding but it is a big commitment. It’s much more than just turning up at a Board meeting once a quarter.

The Trustee role gives back just as much as you put in, so it is important you are passionate about the charity and its objectives.

You cannot force people to volunteer. They have to decide by themselves if they would like to improve the lives of other people by giving their time and expertise.

Do it! I've got so much from it, both meeting charity members, working with other trustees and learning from George.

To anyone who is thinking of being a trustee. you can be successful with mental health given the right support and opportunity.

Definitely do it! Choose a cause that you really care about and you will find that it is extremely rewarding and enjoyable.

Do it! Find something you're personally passionate about, find charities that are helping the cause, get involved and try to add as much value as you can.
