Associate Members

The national charity CRI is seeking individuals who can provide professional or expert advice in a voluntary capacity to its Board of Trustees, management team and staff.

Associate Members will be invited to attend meetings, staff seminars, project launches or promotional events and attend two open Board meetings per year in addition to the AGM. They may have a public, private or voluntary sector background but will need to have senior management experience.

This is an exciting role that will enable passionate and committed individuals to contribute to the future development of one of the fastest growing social care charities in England and Wales.

Although the position is voluntary, reasonable travel expenses incurred on CRI business will be reimbursed.

CRI provides specialist support, treatment and rehabilitation services to individuals and communities affected by crime, substance misuse and anti social behaviour. It helps people break free from damaging patterns of behaviour and make positive changes to their lives.

The role of Associate Member is an exciting volunteering opportunity for people who want to get involved in our work but do not feel they can take on the commitment of Board membership. Whilst less time consuming than a Board role, Associate Membership still provides plenty of opportunities for volunteers to use their expertise and skills to support our work.

Associate Members may attend conferences, project launches and other functions where they will meet staff and service users. They may also use their professional skills to advise and support staff, informally, or by providing training or consultancy.

Associate Members also have a specific corporate governance role at the annual general meeting, where they are required to vote on Board appointments and assess Board performance.
