CLEAR is seeking new trustees to join our Board and support the ongoing work and development of the charity. We especially welcome skills and experience in strategic development, fundraising, marketing and PR.

Sue Brown, Chair of the Board of Trustees, said: “We have a great Board of Trustees at CLEAR and want to further strengthen our skill base.
We want to hear from people who can help us make a positive difference in supporting children, young people and adults to heal from emotional trauma, in particular trauma that is linked to abuse and traumatic crime.”

The key duties of a charity trustee are to ensure that the organisation complies with its governing document any other relevant legislation or regulations. Trustees use their specific skills, knowledge and experience to help the Board reach sound decisions. This may involve scrutinising board papers, leading discussions, focusing on key issues, providing advice and guidance on new initiatives or other issues in which the trustee has special expertise.

CLEAR wants to increase the diversity of our board. A more diverse board will understand better the needs of all sections of the community, offer a broader range of perspectives and be more creative in generating ideas and solutions. To this end we want to recruit people with different skills, life experiences and from different backgrounds. We would especially welcome applications from men, BAME communities and young adults who are all under-represented on our board. The Board meets on quarterly basis in Truro. Meetings commence at 6pm.
