GET INVOLVED
Accountability to the communities we serve is central to the way the Glenkens & District Trust operates and we want to make sure people in our local communities feel connected to our work.
There is a range of ways in which you can get involved with us - read on to find out more.
BECOME A TRUSTEE
Independent Trustee Vacancies
GDT's Board of Trustees is accountable to the Trust’s membership. Community Councils (as an entity) form the GDT membership. Each member Community Council nominates a Community Councillor to serve as a Trustee on the Board of GDT and additionally there can be up to five independent Trustees. Currently there are three independent Trustees appointed to the Board.
​
GDT is seeking independent Trustees to complete the establishment of a full Board. No special skills are needed, just love for the area and a commitment to the value of local community action - for more info, read our Trustee pack here.

ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP
Sign up to support & stay in the loop
Associate Membership is a way for interested people and bodies to be kept up to date with what Glenkens & District Trust is doing, but without having responsibility for governing the Trust.
Associate Members don’t have voting rights - but will receive regular updates on the work of GDT; invitations to GDT general meetings and hear first about opportunities to engage in events.
Associate members can be individuals and groups who want to support the work of GDT - you don’t have to be resident in the area.
