Our Trustees

Our current Board includes retired and working-age people, who contribute a wealth of experience in voluntary sector governance and professional expertise in HR, accounting and business development. We have a strong culture of learning and sharing knowledge about issues facing the organisation and all areas of governance and a passion for creating lasting and meaningful change. Our Board and Staff truly understand the challenges that our young people and community face, as the majority live in Ashington.

YMCA Northumberland’s Board is made up of people who are elected for a three-year term and those who are co-opted for up to one year. If you are interested in joining our board we are currently recruiting Trustees. You can find details and how to apply here.
