What is the opportunity all about?
The Yorkshire Water Community Trust is excited to be looking for a new Trustee to join their board. The principle aim of the Trust is to help those who are in poverty or suffering hardship and are unable to pay water and/or sewerage charges. In doing so, we enable customers to start breaking the cycle of debt and to resolve their debt problems in the long term. Since 1995, the independent charity has supported over 40,000 financially struggling customers with award payments towards their water and/or sewerage arrears with Yorkshire Water.
