Founded in 2019, Pembrokeshire Baby Bank has grown from a two person organisation to a registered charity operating from a base in Pembroke Dock. Our aim is to help alleviate poverty in families with children (from birth to primary school age) across Pembrokeshire.
From helping 127 families in our first full year we have seen our numbers climb steadily to around 370 families so far in 2024 and we know requests for help are going to continue increase.
We know there is so much more we could be doing to help families in our community but we need more expertise to help us achieve that which is why we are looking for new trustees to strengthen our board.
Who are we looking for?
As we continue to grow, we are looking for trustees – some with specific expertise and others with more general experience (we don’t need you to have any previous board or trustee experience though). We would like trustees who can help us with one or more of the following:
- Finance including financial management, budgeting and accounts
- Fundraising including bid writing, partnerships working, individual donors and event planning
- Marketing and communications including social media
- Business development including developing a five year strategic plan
- Operations and management including HR and safeguarding
- The ability to speak Welsh is not essential but would be an added bonus for the baby bank.
