Working with Wirksworth Pre-school Playgroup

Trustees and Volunteers

We are always looking for trustees and volunteers

Wirksworth Pre-school Playgroup is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, known as a CIO. This means the pre-school is run by trustees for the benefit of the children, families and local community.

Trustees are unpaid volunteers. They help make sure the pre-school is well managed, financially responsible, legally compliant and focused on giving children the best possible early years experience.

Trustee support is one of our biggest challenges. Without enough trustees, the pre-school cannot operate safely and legally, and could ultimately have to close. If you think you might be able to help, even if you are not sure what is involved yet, please get in touch for an informal conversation.

You do not need to have worked in childcare to become a trustee. Useful skills include finance, admin, HR, marketing, fundraising, buildings, IT, governance, recruitment, events or simply local knowledge and a willingness to help.

Being a trustee or volunteer can be rewarding and a good way to support an important local setting. It can also help people develop skills in areas such as management, marketing, recruitment, finance and community fundraising.
