Become a Trustee at Friends of Hardie Park

Friends of Hardie Park is a vibrant community charity at the heart of Stanford-le-Hope. We’re always keen to hear from people who are passionate about making a difference locally—and becoming a Trustee is a fantastic way to do just that.

 

What does a Trustee do?

As a Trustee, you’ll help guide the strategic direction of the charity, ensuring we meet our mission to create a welcoming and inclusive space for the whole community. Trustees work together to oversee the charity’s governance, finances, and long-term goals.

You don’t need previous board experience—just a commitment to our values, some time to offer, and a desire to help Hardie Park continue to thrive. We have a supportive and experienced group of Trustees who will help you settle in and learn the ropes.

 

Why join us?

Whether you’re looking to give back, use your skills for good, or learn something new, joining our board is a rewarding opportunity to support a much-loved community space.

“Being a Trustee at Hardie Park is a brilliant way to stay connected to the community and help shape something genuinely positive for local people.”

What’s the commitment?

We hold monthly meetings and may occasionally ask Trustees to support events, decisions, or projects between meetings. While your role is voluntary, we appreciate flexible involvement across the year where possible. You’ll receive a warm welcome, a full induction, and ongoing support from the team.
