As a newly registered Charity, we are inviting you to join our Board, as we move from inside Save the Children UK to a new partnership; providing mutual benefit for their new strategic phase, enhancing our maturity as an independent charity.
As a Trustee, you will play a critical role in ensuring the success and sustainability of our organisation by providing leadership, oversight, and support.
We seek dedicated individuals to join our Board of Trustees and support our ambitious vision during this exciting time in our evolution. We particularly welcome candidates with experience in:
* Fundraising

* Working with Children and Young People or Families
* Living and raising children in Wallsend or surrounding area
Your skills and qualities of compassion, determination, and empathy are also important, as well as your belief that a village can and should bring up its children.
We are searching for people willing to bring energy, enthusiasm, and commitment to the role, who will broaden the diversity of thinking on our board, and add new skills, knowledge, and competencies. We are particularly interested in people bringing experience in finance, marketing, fundraising, governance, or those with experience of raising children in Wallsend, or experience in community development, or working with children, young people, and families.

Since 2016, incubated by Save the Children UK, Wallsend Children’s Community (WCC) has been working to empower every child, young person, and family in Wallsend to fulfil their potential.
At the core of our mission is systems change. This means that we collaborate with communities and partners to reshape services, structures, policies, relationships, and mindsets. By working together, we enable all children to become the very best versions of themselves.
Through our partnership with Save the Children, we work with our communities to ensure their voice shapes national policy through advocacy and campaigns. Regionally, we work with a range of partners offering voice, participation, and insight to shape regional policy and practice.
Your contribution at this time will support us to build upon the years of work to date and ensure the long-term viability that, over a generation, will improve outcomes for children growing up in Wallsend.
