Windmill Hill City Farm Trustee

Bedminster, Bristol

Deadline: 20 Nov 2026

Job description

Windmill Hill City Farm, the award-winning community centre in Bedminster, is looking for trustees. Could you spare a few hours each month to help to make it an even better place? 

Being a trustee means helping to shape the organisation’s future, keeping a watch that it is being run well and sharing your enthusiasm for the farm with others. 

You’ll be part of a team of trustees and we’ll make sure you get the training and support you need to be a great trustee, even if you’ve never done it before. 

We are looking for new trustees to join our board and would be particularly interested in hearing from you if you have the following skills or experience:

• Managing complex facilities or health and safety in respect of public buildings.
• Knowledge of, or strong network connections in, health or social care.
• Experience of running hospitality and social enterprise.
• Experience of urban regeneration, localism or community power and devolution.
• Lived experience of recently arriving in the UK. 

However, commitment, enthusiasm and the willingness to get involved are as important as specific skills and experience. Previous trustee experience is not required.

Meetings are on Monday evening once every 2 months with expenses covered. They generally last around 2 hours. In return for your time you’ll get new skills, a wider social and professional network, and a warm glow from knowing you’re helping your community to thrive.

The principles of equity, diversity and inclusion are important to us. We are keen to hear from candidates of all backgrounds to help us ensure we are welcoming to the different communities in our diverse city.
