A great way to support your community!
We are looking for new volunteers to join the BSCC Board of Directors. Our Directors play a vital role in overseeing the charity’s activities and supporting the staff team. We’re looking for people with energy and enthusiasm for making a difference in our local community, and willingness to dedicate a few hours a month to the role.
This is a great time to join Broadford & Strath Community Company. We have a fantastic team of staff and volunteers, a range of successful projects, and funding for some exciting new initiatives. We have a robust financial model through our successful community campsite, Camping Skye, and an excellent track record in fundraising.
What’s the commitment?
- Attend monthly board meetings, either in person or by video call. These are normally held in Broadford outside working hours and last 1.5 – 2 hours.
- Each Director normally focuses on one project or area of interest. This might be a building project, environmental initiative, or general area such as fundraising.
- Directors also contribute to decision-making about the organisation, e.g. finance and forward planning. This takes place at board meetings and via email.
What we offer
- Satisfaction of being part of an innovative and award-winning charity.
- Opportunity to share your skills and life experience to support our community.
- Potential for personal and professional development.
- Training and support relevant to the role.

- We need people who can work as part of a team, are good communicators, and are committed to BSCC’s aims and objectives.
- You will need to be comfortable with using computers for emails and accessing documents online.
