Board Vacancy (Voluntary)
Closing Date: 12pm Friday 29 May
Scottish Cycling Foundation are looking to increase both the skills and diversity of its trustees by appointing further members this spring.
The Scottish Cycling Foundation (“SCF”) is the official charity of Scottish Cycling registered with OSCR, the Scottish Charity Register.
The objects of the charity are the advancement of public participation in cycle sport in Scotland by the provision of education, facilities, assistance, and financial grants, whilst protecting and enhancing the natural environments that cycling and mountain biking take place in.
The overriding goal of SCF is to raise funds to progress cycle sport and cyclists in Scotland, be that by enhancing current initiatives or removing barriers to participation. SCF will organise its activities to support the strategy of Scottish Cycling.
Whilst the Foundation has a good mix of skills and experience, they would like to further strengthen their board over the coming months and sustain gender parity.
They are also seeking individuals with charitable fund-raising, communications and business development skills. As part of this process they are also seeking an Independent chair with demonstrable skills to chair the charity.
Whilst a passion for cycling is preferred, the primary focus is ensuring trustees have the correct mix of skills, life experiences and diversity to represent the cycling community and ensure Scottish Cycling Foundation continues to go from strength to strength.
