Recruiting local disabled people

Greenwich Association of Disabled People are looking to recruit local disabled people for their trustee board.

This could be a good opportunity for volunteers with professional experience, such as business planning, marketing or finance, to maintain their experience, or for students to gain experience relevant to their degree.  There may be others who can contribute their perspective as disabled people, helping the organisation ensure its services remain true to its core principles.

GAD has a long history in the local area since 1975, with a reputation that extends nationally.  GAD is highly committed to remaining an organisation run by and for disabled people.  As well as providing advice, information and advocacy services, GAD runs a Personal Assistants agency, providing close support for 60 local people, and supports users to become involved in the organisation at different levels, including representing the organisation externally.  See www.gad.org.uk for further information.

GAD is based in Greenwich, near the University’s maritime campus, based at The Forum@Greenwich on Trafalgar Road.
