About Opportunity
Part of the Boards success is through having members with a range of skills, however, it is vital that we involve people who are not only committed to Carers Link and our support of Carers, but who also represent the diversity of caring in East Dunbartonshire. You may be interested in volunteering as a Board Member because of your personal caring experiences. You might be volunteering to gain experience or to learn something new or you might have key skills or knowledge that would be useful in our staffing, finance/fundraising or marketing sub groups. The main responsibility is to ensure Carers Link runs efficiently, that our funds are spent properly, to monitor the progress of the organisation's work and to make sure that as we grow, we continue to meet the needs of local Carers.
