Fairway Fife is a Peer Mentoring Charity supporting people with learning disabilities and autism from 16 years of age. They are making a positive difference by recruiting professionally supported committed volunteers who can support their young adults on their exciting journey. Using a variety of activities and experiences, caring relationships can be formed and both young adults and peer mentors’ lives may be enhanced from the benefits gained, helping them to achieve their highest potential.
They are now looking for board members to support the direction and management of the charity. Board members will attend meetings, make decisions on the direction of the charity, ensure good governance and act as an ambassador for the charity. They are particularly looking for someone to carry out secretarial duties, capable of minute taking, feedback & evaluation recording and IT. Confidentiality would be of the highest importance.
