East Dunbartonshire Women’s Aid

East Dunbartonshire Women’s Aid provides refuge, information and support services for women, children and young people in the East Dunbartonshire area who have experienced, or who are currently experiencing, domestic abuse. This may take the form of emotional, physical, sexual or financial abuse.

We know that women want to be believed, not to be judged, to know there is a way out of abuse and that they have choices. The core values under which we work are developed from what women have told us would be most helpful to them.

Please get in touch with us on 0141 776 0864 or email edwomensaid@aol.com

Our office hours are Monday to Friday, 9am until 4:30pm

 

Trustee Vacancy (Treasurer) with East Dunbartonshire Women’s Aid

We are seeking to recruit a suitably experienced, skilled and motivated woman, who has an understanding of the feminist analysis of domestic abuse, to join our Board of Trustees as Treasurer.  Interested parties do not need to have an in-depth knowledge of domestic abuse but it will be essential to prove that you are interested in our work, reliable and committed to our principles and values.

East Dunbartonshire Women’s Aid has delivered essential domestic abuse services across the local authority area for over 40 years. We strive for a society free from domestic abuse by providing practical and emotional support, as well as refuge accommodation and information to women, children and young people. The charity also raises awareness of domestic abuse and its prevalence across society.

Trustees are responsible for the effective governance of our charity and give their time on a voluntary basis to provide leadership, financial oversight and support the ongoing development of the vital services that we provide.  We are seeking someone who has the skills to take over the role of Treasure within our Board.  Full guidance, including a handover with our current Treasurer and time spent with our Finance Worker will be provided.

The Board meets in-person every two months.  There may also be times that Trustees have to progress communications or pieces of work in-between meetings, either on an individual basis on behalf of the Board or as part of a short-life working group or a sub-group of the Board.

The Trustee role is voluntary (unpaid) however, we will provide induction training, support and reimburse any necessary expenses. For more information or an application pack, please email edwomensaid@aol.com.
