All Wheel Drive Response North East (AWDRNE) is a small, registered charity based in North Tyneside, supporting communities across Northumberland, Tyne & Wear, County Durham and Cleveland.

We’re looking for a few new volunteer Trustees to join our board and help guide the charity as it grows.

AWDRNE’s volunteers provide practical help during severe weather, emergencies and community events, as well as running free First Aid Awareness sessions for families, community groups and young people.

As a Trustee, you’ll play an important role in helping to shape how we operate, plan future activities, and make sure the charity continues to run safely, effectively and for public benefit.

You don’t need to be a charity expert, just someone who cares about community support and has ideas or experience to share.

We’d especially welcome people with skills or interest in:

- Finance or bookkeeping

- Fundraising or sponsorship

- Safeguarding and welfare

- HR, legal or governance

Full induction, support and optional VODA trustee training are provided. Meetings are friendly, inclusive and flexible, usually quarterly, in person or online.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’d like to help, but I’m not sure how,” this could be the perfect way to start.
