Could you be a trustee?
In August three of our four trustees will have completed their three-year term and will be standing down. We're looking for new trustees to join the team. To make sure that we accurately reflect the community we're serving we need a mixture of genders and ages.
We need a mix of skills and interests across the team, as our responsibilities are very varied. We keep an eye on maintenance, watch the finances, support the cafe manager, make sure the community is kept informed - all this and more. New challenges arise constantly, so trustees have to be flexible, ready to learn something new, and - most importantly of all - willing to work with others.
Being a trustee of this vital community building is a great responsibility, but it's also really enjoyable. All four current trustees can honestly say that there's been a lot of fun working together, and all have learned a great deal along the way. There is a very strong management team supporting the trustees, an excellent cafe manager and a terrific team of volunteers.
Could you become part of the next stage in the life of St Leonard's? For an informal chat, please contact one of the existing trustees: visit our 'Contacts' page for details.

What do we do?
In 2010 the PCC handed over responsibility for the day-to-day running and the maintenance of the building to St Leonard's Management. Since then St Leonard's Management has been responsible for the upkeep of the church. In 2021 a new team of three volunteers agreed to become trustees, and St Leonard's Management became a registered charity.
