Trustee, Finance - Fulham Reach BC
Fulham Reach Boat Club (FRBC) is looking to recruit a new charity trustee with expertise in finance, treasury or charity accounting.
We are an award-winning ‘Sport for Good’ charity, dedicated to transforming lives through inclusive rowing. We help to improve physical and mental wellbeing and to build skills, confidence, and community, focusing on three areas: • Accessible Rowing - opening up access to the Thames for people with disabilities, to enjoy adaptive rowing and environmental activities
• Youth Development - providing subsidised rowing for state schools, free water-sports weeks for disadvantaged children in the school holidays, and junior squad bursaries •
Reducing Reoffending - delivering land rowing and coaching programmes for serving and former prisoners, to support rehabilitation and pathways to employment post-release.
FRBC also has a thriving adult and youth rowing membership, many of whom volunteer to support our social impact programmes, and is a leader in Environmental Action on the London Tideway, conducting weekly water-quality testing and regular river clean-ups. Following a successful pilot last year of accessible rowing for the visually impaired, we were delighted to be awarded a three-year grant from the National Lottery Community Fund to expand our programme to participants with a range of disabilities.
