Heart of Hastings is looking for new trustees to join its existing team.

Heart of Hastings is a community land trust that exists to provide affordable community led housing and create opportunities for self development. It has six trustees at the moment and would like to recruit an additional four.

The organisation is looking people with a passion for community and is especially keen to hear from Heart of Hastings members and people who have not been a trustee before.

“By becoming a trustee you will help us maintain and develop our community led organisation, creating affordable spaces and supporting bottom up development,” the organisation says on its website.

Trustees are volunteers, who are responsible for the governance of Heart of Hastings, making sure that it acts within the law, fairly and in a way that furthers its objectives.
 
The organisation is keen to recruit trustees who live in and care about Hastings, including people with different experiences and backgrounds to those currently represented on the board. 

Roles available are: Treasurer, Legal and governance specialist, Grant making and fundraising specialist, Community trustee

The average time commitment for a trustee is two to four hours per month, and while trustee roles are voluntary, out of pocket expenses are covered
