Our Community Partners

We support a variety of voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations through our programmes. We’ve signed the York Citywide Volunteering Pledge to show our commitment to contributing towards a thriving culture of volunteering in York.

Refugee Action York (RAY) is looking for an HR Trustee to join their Board. They need someone with an HR background who can support the charity to ensure its HR policies are up to date and fit for purpose.

Trustees have ultimate responsibility for directing the affairs of the charity and delivering its charitable objectives. They ensure that RAY is solvent, well-run, and complies with the law and the requirements of the Charity Commission. Each Trustee oversees the development of a particular area of responsibility in line with RAY‘s strategic plan. The Board of Trustees meets eight times a year in the evening, four times in person and four times online.

The role will provide experience in developing the strategic direction of this important York charity and in helping to develop the HR policies of a small charitable organisation which meets the needs of migrants, refugees and those seeking asylum in York.

For more information please email the Chair of RAY, Charlie Croft on charliec9378@gmail.com.
