What skills our trustees need

Our trustees come from all walks of life, bringing their experience and individual skills to their local schemes.

The kind of skills that are in demand are:

• business skills
• personnel management
• finance
• fundraising
• information technology
• communications

But you don't need special qualifications to be a special trustee. The following are just as important to us:

• common sense
• an ability to work as part of a team
• an understanding of the pressures facing parents today
• and a genuine interest in supporting parents in your community
