Your skills needed as a Board member, empowering women

by Shanti Aid

We're looking for people to join the Board of Trustees at Shanti Aid. In these times when funding is so difficult to source, we're particularly interested in anyone with fundraising, grant writing, bid management, engagement with corporates or any related skills and experience that can support this wonderful charity. This is an active role to support the charity, and we’re looking for someone to get stuck in to help us find the vital funding that helps Shanti Aid to keep doing its critical work.

Organisation description

Shanti Aid is a unique and vital lifeline for women facing domestic violence in the West Midlands and anywhere in England and Wales. We bring bespoke, holistic support directly to women in their own environments, ensuring they receive the care and assistance they need, no matter their circumstances. Our services are designed to empower women, helping them rebuild their lives through personalised counselling, skills training, and health and well-being courses. We also provide crucial links to external services like housing, legal aid, and healthcare. At Shanti Aid, we believe in giving every woman the tools she needs to live a safe, healthy, and fulfilling life free from abuse and fear. Our commitment is to ensure that no woman is left behind, and that all have the opportunity to thrive in a life of safety and independence.
