Our trustees play a vital role in making sure that Blind Life in Durham achieves its core purpose. They oversee the overall management and administration of the charity.
Board members have a collective responsibility. This means that trustees always act as a group and not as individuals.
• Decide what the charity should do
• Make sure the charity follows the rules
• Look after the charity’s money
• Keep people safe
• See how the charity is doing and help it improve
• Tell others about the charity
We are looking for people willing to bring energy, enthusiasm and commitment to the role, and who will broaden the diversity of thinking on our board.
You will not need previous experience as we will provide an induction and any training where necessary.
• Care about the charity’s work
• Be honest
• Work well with others

Blind Life in Durham could not operate without our volunteers. Our volunteers allow us to provide social and sporting events to people with sight loss and severe sight loss.
As well as being a charity, Blind Life in Durham is also registered as a Company Limited by Guarantee and therefore our trustees are also directors. The members of the charity also may have other conditions in addition to their sight loss and the board take these into consideration as well.
The charity has been running since 2004 and have around 20 volunteers whose input is vital. You would be joining the team as a volunteer who would provide a vital service to our members at a variety of events throughout each month.
You will also be welcome to participate in any of the events, if you choose to and opportunities for presenting new idea’s which will benefit members and volunteers alike.
