Committee member vacancies

Oxford Mencap needs new committee members to help support the work of the existing committee of around 10, including a secretary, vice-chairperson and fund raisers. Firstly a commitment to improving the lives of people with learning difficulties and their families is required, after that whatever you can give. The role involves one evening a month, then whatever you are able to do in between helping us with administration, to raise money and supporting our activities. We ask for around 6hrs per month. Whilst it is important to have ideas the most useful thing is taking a bit of time each month to do something new for us, be that attending a sponsored swim, helping find the new minibus supplier, researching new holiday venues – whatever it takes.

Oxford Mencap runs a 7 O'Clock club for over 200 members and summer holidays for over 80 people each year. Working on the committee is very rewarding when it you see the care and support that we can provide, so please do get in touch with us.
