Consider taking your finance skills back to school by volunteering as a governor.

We’re working with education charity Governors for Schools to help fill 20,000 volunteer vacancies across the country, and your wealth of knowledge could make a difference.

Volunteering as a school governor is a fantastic way to contribute to your community and help improve educational standards.  Schools across England and Wales need your financial knowledge and experience to drive improvement for children and young people.

In offering strategic oversight to a school, you can use your skills to ensure budgets are spent effectively. In return, volunteering as a school governor provides you with board-level experience and a wealth of new development opportunities.
