It's important to us that you have the tools and support you need to serve your MS communities, and that volunteering with us is an enjoyable and rewarding experience. We want to make sure that systems and resources are designed in partnership with the volunteers who will use them, and that decisions affecting local groups are made by volunteers and staff working together.
With this emphasis on collaboration in mind, we're launching a Community Networks Advisory Panel. This group will provide a forum for meaningful volunteer involvement and input to key decisions that affect the work of our groups.
What will Panel members do?
As a member of the Community Networks Advisory Panel, you'll play a leading role in reviewing the strategic impact of our recent restructure (including the effectiveness of changes to group support), and will recommend to the Executive Group any necessary improvements. You'll also help to shape future changes that affect our local groups. So, you'll need to be a current group volunteer or national council volunteer to apply for this role.
We're looking for 10-15 volunteers from across the UK, in a variety of group roles, to form this Panel. Meetings (four per year) will be held online, with additional discussions taking place via email. Panel members will be expected to serve a minimum two-year term.
Who are you looking for?
We're looking for people to bring their experience and knowledge of volunteering within the MS Society, as well as relevant experience from other aspects of their lives. If you have a positive approach, an open mind, a desire to contribute new ideas, and a willingness to listen to and consider the suggestions of others, this could be the role for you!
