Board Trustee

Wellingborough, Northamptonshire

Daylight Centre Fellowship is a local charity at the heart of Wellingborough. We support people who are facing homelessness, poverty or social isolation, offering practical help such as advice, food, clothing and a welcoming place to connect with others. Our aim is simple by making sure no one in our community is left without support when they need it most.

We are seeking to recruit a Trustee to join our Board.
