Are you looking for an opportunity to support a long-standing charity? Rephael House is currently seeking new Directors to join their Board.

All applicants should consider the commitment requested of Directors:
- Attendance at quarterly Directors’ meetings, currently on a Monday evening via Zoom.
- Attendance at additional meetings as required, as well as engaging in correspondence between meetings.
- Although Directors are elected annually at the AGM, a long-term commitment (suggested 3-year term), facilitates stability and strong governance.
