Trustee

Would you like to contribute to CHI as a trustee? We would like you to be an "involved" Trustee, contributing to the management of the charity, concerned about children's health overseas, especially children with CF.  CHI would like to have 2, even 3, additional new Trustees.

financial

One Trustee should have experience in financial control, would ideally have an accounting qualification and would become the charity’s Treasurer. Our annual turnover is only about £10,000 and we have an able bookkeeper. 

fundraising

A Trustee with skills and interest in fundraising would be very welcome. 

medical

CHI has a competent retired (CF) consultant paediatric specialist as Medical Adviser and a second consultant as Adviser on child cardiac issues but neither are Trustees - so a Trustee might usefully complement their skills with experience of either medical aid overseas and/or worldwide CF healthcare and/or children's health  management. 

legal

Lastly, our Board would be strengthened by a Trustee, who could provide legal advice (Charity law, employment of staff, volunteers etc) or has experience of public relations. 

The crux - is the wish to improve the care of children with CF, whose present quality of life, notwithstanding their country's possible membership of the EU, is unacceptably poor. A Trustee with cystic fibrosis, or experience of CF in the family, would be most welcome. 

In practice, it is best if Trustees live within 30 miles of Winchester. There are 6 Trustee Board meetings per year and some other informal meetings, all based around Winchester.
