Trustees

The board of the Pamela Young Trust currently comprises three Trustees and they are looking to recruit a fourth. The term is for a minimum of five years. Responsibilities include attendance at four quarterly meetings per year, alongside active participation via email where necessary. Trustees are not remunerated.

The purpose of the board is to provide governance to the charity:

• ensuring our charitable objectives are clear and provide benefit;
• ensuring our housing stock remains in good repair and is compliant with all current legislation;
• supporting responsible financial management.

All legal services are provided by A B & B Matthews, our investment portfolio is managed externally and we have a Factor who deals with all day-to-day matters relating to our houses and tenants.

This is an exciting time to join the PYT as we have two potential housing projects in the pipeline that would extend our current portfolio and which would in turn benefit those looking for affordable housing in the Glenkens. We would like to hear from anyone who shares our values, and experience or knowledge in one or more of the following areas would be of particular interest:

• Third Sector
• community work/citizenship
• sustainable property development
• lived experience of rental/social housing

Anyone considering the role is welcome to have a discussion with the Chair or another Trustee – in the first instance an informal enquiry should be made to enquiries@abamatthews.com

The Trustees keep up-to-date with all charity and housing legislation, and a new Trustee will be offered a comprehensive induction, as well as any relevant training if necessary.

The Trustees are all covered by Directors and Officers liability insurance.
