Mike Melvin, ACVO’s Volunteering Services manager, highlighted the benefits of volunteering as a Board member, stating: “Volunteering as a charity trustee, committee member, or taking on any role on a Board can be a transformative opportunity both for the individual and the wider community.
“The impact of your involvement as a Board member extends far beyond the organisation itself. By contributing your expertise and time, you can play a pivotal role in shaping the direction and impact of local third sector organisations, ensuring effective governance, sustainable growth, and positive societal change in Aberdeen.
“This dual impact underscores the significance of volunteering in our city,” Mike emphasised, “by giving your time and skills you can be empowered to make a tangible difference by helping to create stronger, more resilient communities for all.”
“Your involvement and contributions will result in real change within Aberdeen. This, as ever, holds a massive importance as we as a sector continue to work towards ensuring our city is a fair and inclusive place for all to live and that voices from all demographics can be heard” Mike added.
Volunteering as a Board member not only benefits the community but also offers the opportunity personal growth and fulfilment. Through leadership, decision-making, and strategic planning, undertaking a volunteer role provides a platform for individuals to develop invaluable skills that foster and enrich both professional and personal development.
Several Aberdeen based third sector organisations are actively seeking individuals from all backgrounds to join their Boards and make a meaningful contribution to their local community.
