Trusteeship Recruitment September 2025:

Kindred Minds Trusteeship Opportunity

Role: Kindred Minds is seeking to appoint 2 new Trustees within the next 6 months.

Background: Our organisation was first constituted in April 2012. The charity was subsequently incorporated as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation with the Charity Commission on 27/05/2015. The objects of the charity are:

To relieve the needs and to promote and preserve the good mental and physical health of those suffering from any form of mental ill health resident in the Merseyside area but not exclusively by:

A) The provision of help, support, and advice through peer support;

B) The promotion of social inclusion by providing access to creative health and wellbeing activities;

C) To provide a "safe place" where information, problems and experience can be exchanged and discussed; and

D) Promoting a better understanding of mental health and helping to reduce the stigma, oppressive attitudes and behaviours associated with it.

We summarise this as PASS = Peer Support, Activities, Safe space, and Stigma free.
