Terms
The charity’s Chair serves a three-year term to be eligible for re-appointment for one additional term. In addition to chairing the main Board meetings, the Chair may wish to attend the meeting of the Finance, Governance and Risk Committee (chaired by the Treasurer) and our Fundraising and Development Committee.
Location
FBB has three regional bases – in Brixton, South London, in central Birmingham and in Trafford Park, Manchester. Our board meetings are held quarterly at our HQ in London.
Time Commitment
The basic commitment for the Chair are to facilitate the four Board meetings per year. However, we want our Chair to be passionate about the work that we do and believe lots of the best bits that the Chair can offer comes outside of those formal meetings. We hope that the Chair will also support with introductions to their relationships, attendance at key events in our calendar, along with ongoing, monthly strategic support to our Chief Executive. Therefore, we would advise the Chair allocates a minimum of 1 day per month towards the role (this can be spread flexibly across the month).
Remuneration
The role of Chair is not accompanied by any financial remuneration, although expense for travel may be claimed.
