Trustee/Treasurer

We is a long-established, community-based charity operating from the historic Chichester Boys’ Club building, proudly serving young people and the wider community since 1922. We provide safe, inclusive spaces and positive activities that support children, young people, and adults to thrive socially, emotionally, and physically, particularly those from disadvantaged or socially isolated backgrounds.

As we look ahead, a number of Trustee vacancies are coming up, and we are keen to welcome new Trustees to join our committed and supportive Board.

This is an opportunity to help shape the future of a respected local charity and make a meaningful difference in the community.
