Home-Start Trustees
Trustees are men and women from our local community who help guide our Home-Start and contribute to the leadership and direction of the scheme so staff can manage the day-to-day operations and home-visiting volunteers can get on with the job of supporting families.
The trustees have overall responsibility for the scheme, being involved in the employment of staff and decisions about the running of the scheme outside the day-to-day jobs.
We also have advisors to the board who kindly give up their time to support the trustees. These advisors come from a range of professions including Health, Education and Social Work.
The board meets about every 6 weeks and the meeting are informal and we hope that trustees gain a great amount from their contributions during their time on the board. The AGM is normally held in June where Trustees are voted onto the board.
We also hold some sub committee meetings to focus on different areas of the business. These are:
| I Became a Home-Start Trustee Because...“I feel Home-Start gives families excellent support, as the feedback from parents speaks for itself .This is due to the devotion of the Staff and Volunteers”. “I enjoy being a trustee for Home-Start East Lothian because they offer excellent support for families in East Lothian and I wanted to help make a difference in my local community. I feel I have the skills and experience required to support the running of the project and to continue to help make important decisions about their future”. Home- Start East Lothian |
