New Board Members
We are recruiting new Board Members ahead of our AGM in June. We are particularly interested in:
- Canopy tenants, former tenants of Canopy, or people who live in social housing owned or run by similar organisations in Leeds
- Canopy volunteers, or people who have volunteered on site with Canopy in the past.
- People with a background in Human Resources.
- People with sound knowledge and experience of safeguarding adults with care and support needs.
We are aiming to make our Board more representative of the people and communities with whom we work, so we particularly welcome applications from people whose background (ethnicity, race or lived experience) might resonate with our tenants and volunteers, most of whom live in inner city Leeds.
If you are interested in observing our Board at work with a view to joining, please contact our Chief Executive, David Nugent.
