The Ripple Pond is looking for new Trustees to join their team. The Ripple Pond charity provides a self-help support network for the adult family members of physically or emotionally injured Service Personnel and Veterans.

We require Trustees who are able to demonstrate integrity, strategic vision, good independent judgement and a willingness to contribute to our work.
Applications are welcome from enthusiastic and willing volunteers to fill various roles, applications are especially welcome from those with particular knowledge and skills in the areas of Legislation, Public Relations, Event Planning, Data Protection/Management and Financial Management.
