Help Shape Local Mental Health Support in Spelthorne

Spelthorne Mental Health Association is a long-established, independent local charity supporting people in their recovery from mental illness. From our welcoming day centre in Fordbridge Park on the Ashford/Staines border, we offer therapeutic activities such as art, crafts, woodwork, relaxation, computer classes, and social outings.

We're looking for new trustees to join our small, friendly board and help guide the future of the charity. This flexible volunteer role involves attending approximately 4–6 meetings per year, with occasional involvement by email or phone. You don’t need to have been a trustee before—if you’re passionate about mental health and making a difference locally, we’d love to hear from you.

Experience in HR, finance, website management, or governance is a bonus but not essential.

What skills do I need?

What we look for:

Supportive, thoughtful individuals ready to contribute time, insight, or professional experience.

Strategic thinking, leadership, understanding of mental health, teamwork, optional skills in HR, finance, or websites

When do I need to be available?

Committee meetings are held as needed, generally on a weekday afternoon. We hope that trustees will get involved with activities at the centre.
