Could you be one of our new trustees?…

Your skills could help to ensure that more women receive the support they need

York Women’s Counselling was established over 20 years ago with the mission of ensuring that talking therapies and support were available to women in the city no matter what their income.  Our work is ever more prescient in these times when mental health is under assault for so many reasons, and with women disproportionately affected.

During the past 18 months our small group of trustees and staff have risen to the challenge and have strengthened the organisation so that its future is looking bright. We are now seeking to expand our trustee numbers and bring in new perspectives and links across the city.  

We’re reaching out to women across York who may have an interest in mental health, counselling and, naturally, the women’s agenda in particular, to invite applications. Of course in a small organisation we can offer opportunities for women with a wide variety of skills also including marketing and fundraising, hr and operations experience. 

Becoming a trustee could be the challenge you're looking for.  It will give you the opportunity to get involved in many aspects of our organisation providing an effective way to build your skills and your CV. Our area of work may be something new to you, but your experience can offer us a new perspective. We hope that you’ll find you’re engaged in something vital and stimulating.
