Birmingham’s Centre for Women seeking new trustees

People who are passionate about issues affecting women with a desire to make a difference to the community are encouraged to be a trustee at Anawim – Birmingham’s Centre for Women.

Anawim is a Birmingham charity committed to working with and for women. They offer gender responsive and trauma-informed support, to enable women to reach their potential.

This is done through wraparound services including long-term specialist provisions alongside other practical resources.

Over the last financial year, the charity has supported more than 1,700 women at their centre in Balsall Heath and across three secure locations. They also have a drop-in service and a food bank.

Other services offered include free counselling, courses, and specialist case worker support. Click here to read the Impact Report.

Trustees are pivotal in guiding Anawim’s strategic direction and charity is on the lookout for someone who can provide strong governance, oversight, and support to the senior leaders.

The trustee is expected to work towards their vision - for a 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.

“We currently have three vacancies in total – chair, trustee and co-opted trustee.”

Please email joydoal@anawim.co.uk for more information.

To apply, send a CV and a cover letter outlining the suitability for either role to recruitment@anawim.co.uk.
