Women’s charity on the lookout for new trustee

The Anawin – Birmingham’s Centre for Women is on the lookout for an inspiring and dynamic individual to join their board of trustees.

Anawim is a Birmingham charity committed to working for women, offering gender responsive and trauma-informed support.

The charity does this through wraparound services including long-term specialist provisions alongside other practical resources.

Over the last financial year, they have supported more than 2,100 women across centres in Balsall Heath and three secure locations.

They also offer a drop-in service, a food bank, free counselling, courses, and specialist case worker support.

Trustees are pivotal in guiding Anawim’s strategic direction and ensuring the charity achieve its goals.

They are looking for someone who can provide strong governance, oversight, and support to the senior leaders.

The ideal trustee will work with Anawim towards the vision - world where women and girls are safe, free, valued, and empowered members of society.

Anawim CEO Joy Doal said: “As a growing charity offering a unique service to women in Birmingham, we need a trustee board that better reflects the women we support, so we encourage applications from global majority communities.

“We especially require skills and understanding of finance and fundraising and trustees who can help our positioning with corporate, philanthropic and policy partners as well as providing the security that good governance brings.”
