Asylum and Refugee Care (AARC) is a growing, relatively new charity (established in April 2023). This is therefore an exciting opportunity to play an active role in the governance of AARC. We are looking for individuals with experience in governance, finance, promotion/fundraising, or related skills, to become trustees. We are currently a small team of trustees, wanting to grow in size and experience as a team.

While we are looking for these specific skills, it’s most important that trustees’ values align with AARC’s values. This includes a strong desire to promote the welfare of individuals seeking asylum. This includes promoting integration into society, access of services (strongly advocating where this is needed), and addressing inequalities.

As well as attending monthly trustee meetings where updates are shared and decisions made, you will have the opportunity to get involved with the particular areas you're more passionate or skilled in. Along with other trustees, you will be able to shape AARC's structures and systems which contribute to its smooth running, and in turn to positively impacting service user's lives.

For more information or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at email: trustees@aarc.charity or telephone: 07392856117
