FAIR HOUSING FOR FROME SEEKS NEW BOARD MEMBERS

Fair Housing for Frome has an exciting set of priorities for the next three years and is now looking for some additional board members to help achieve its goals. 

These include: ensuring that homeless and insecurely housed people get the housing support they need; encouraging the development of community led housing, including tiny homes; developing a legacy scheme to build up a portfolio of affordably-rented local homes; and campaigning for a fair private rented sector, including launching a lodging scheme. 

 Board chair, Ali Barclay says,  “We’re looking for local residents with good links into the community who have some understanding of insecure housing and homelessness, perhaps through personal experience. We’d also welcome anyone with professional skills in this area, and need strategic thinkers who can help develop our vision. In addition, it’s important to us to have as much diversity as possible on the board of directors, in terms of age, gender and experience. We’re a friendly open-minded group that meets approximately every two months, with other events and activities in between. Since we’re a non-profit organisation, this is a volunteer role.”

There will be an open evening from 7-8pm on Monday 9th March at The Good Heart in Palmer Street for anyone who’d like to chat about this opportunity with current board members. Interested parties can also write to info@fair housingforfrome.org.uk or visit www.fairhousingfor frome.org.uk.
