‍
• Emergency food parcels through our food bank
• Affordable reused furniture and household goods
• The Giving Tree Appeal, ensuring thousands of children receive gifts at Christmas
• Employment and volunteering opportunities for people furthest from the job market

We are looking for an individual with:

‍
• Strong leadership skills and the ability to chair meetings effectively
• A commitment to our values of compassion, dignity, and sustainability
• The ability to act as an ambassador for Instant Neighbour across the community
• Experience in governance, strategy, or charity leadership (desirable but not essential)

Time commitment: Approximately 1–2 days per month, including quarterly board meetings and occasional events.

This is an unpaid voluntary role, but one that offers the opportunity to make a lasting difference in people’s lives while shaping the future of one of Aberdeen’s leading social charities.
