  We are seeking people who:

·      Feel a connection to our work and will spread the word
·      Would like to help to develop the organisation
·      Could be pro-active in helping to raise funding, sponsorship etc.
·      Could support the organisation with any skills they may have e.g. experience of disability, organising, IT, website design, management or business skills, legal knowledge, accounting, social media etc.
·      Live in the GLA area
We can offer:
·      Disability, equality awareness training
·      Management Committee training and out of pocket expenses
·      The chance to make a difference for disabled people in Brent and surrounding areas.
·      An opportunity to improve skills.
If you, or anyone you know, is interested in joining us please contact John Healy by 3rd April 2015.

Is such blatant positive discrimination allowed. Replace 75% of trustees must be disabled with 75% of tenants must be Muslim for example and I think you'd be in serious hot water. It's absolutely disingenuous to suggest a non disabled majority of trustees couldn't advocate to the same standard. I hope no one applies to this blantently biased institution which does nothing but harm the equality the disabled strive for.
