Could you give a few hours of your time to provide direction and leadership?
Love Russia was established 25 years ago by Christian missionary Noel Doubleday. Today his legacy lives on as we give support to some of the most vulnerable children, orphanage leavers and young single mums in the western area of Russia.
Love Russia’s trustees are custodians of this legacy and play a vital role in ensuring we continue the work. We are looking for individuals who have a Christian faith that translates into a passion for our mission, for Trustees who can make a significant contribution by being able to share and implement their knowledge, expertise and experience. We are particularly keen to hear from people with experience in the following areas:
Social Care, specifically for children, youth or recovering addicts
Legal Practice
Marketing
Experience of being a carer or volunteering
