Recruiting Trustees!
We are seeking Trustees for Outhouse East, the charity supporting delivery of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender equality in Essex – and beyond.

Funding and fundraising • Governance and strategic planning • Marketing and communications • Legal • Human resources/supervision/appraisal skills • LGBT social and health issues • Health & social care policy
We hold friendly - yet purposeful - monthly Board meetings, and all Trustees are encouraged to take an active role in life at the Outhouse, whether by volunteering or just dropping by when they can!
