Trustee Recruitment Pack Trustee Recruitment Pack Last updated on 16 April 2018 Message from the Chair Thank you for your interest in Cardiff Women’s Aid. For over 40 years, Cardiff Women’s Aid has been working with and for women and children in Cardiff. We are committed to promoting equality between women and men in our city, through providing 24/7 crisis support for those at risk of violence, as well as a range of support and development services both from our “one stop shop” Women’s Centre and out in the community. As part of this vital work, Cardiff Women’s Aid requires a committed and enthusiastic Board of Trustees, and we are currently recruiting for some new Trustees to join our existing team. This document will provide you with some more information about our organisation, the role of the Trustee as part of it, as well as introducing the current Board. If you would like any more information, please see our website (https://www.cardiffwomensaid.org.uk/) or contact Harriet Horn ([email protected]). We very much look forward to hearing from you. Paul Bevan Who we are: Our Aims, Values and Services ........................................................................... 1 Our Aims: Support, Empower, Raise awareness and Prevent ............................................................ 1 Our Values: Human Rights and Equality, Respect and Self-help ........................................................ 2 Being a CWA Trustee ............................................................................................................. 2 Meet our Trustees .............................................................................................................................. 3 Becoming a CWA Trustee ....................................................................................................... 6 Who we are: Our Aims, Values and Services Message from the Chief Executive Officer I am proud to be the Chief Executive of Cardiff Women’s Aid, giving me the opportunity to work on issues of violence and abuse within our society, and to ensure that services meet the needs of the women and children who are affected. Cardiff Women's Aid provides crisis accommodation and specialist support to women and children at risk of domestic abuse. A central part of our work is ensuring the provision of 24/7 support for women and children at risk of violence. Beyond this, we offer a range of age-appropriate preventive services, and undertake extensive work with other agencies throughout the city to identify and support those at risk of violence. We have a number of refuges in Cardiff, as well as a central hub – the Women’s Centre – where women and children can access a range of support services. My commitment to social justice, fairness and equality has driven my work and activism choices, and I firmly believe that we can change the world through our personal action. It is this commitment that also underpins the work of our Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees plays a vital role in Cardiff Women’s Aid and I am pleased to work alongside such a strong and dedicated team. Morgan Fackrell Our Aims: Support, Empower, Raise awareness and Prevent Crisis support – We aim to meet the needs of women and children suffering and at risk of abuse, through the provision of refuge and specialised support services. Empower – We aim to provide women with the information and support they need to make informed decisions about their own lives. Raise awareness – We aim to highlight the reality of abuse against women and children. Prevent – We aim to end violence against women and children. 1 Our Values: Human Rights and Equality, Respect and Self-help Human rights and equality – We believe in equality between women and men, and that everybody has the right to live free from violence and abuse. We promote equality in all our work. Respect – We treat all individuals with dignity and without judgement. Self-help – We believe in the capacity of individuals to make their own decisions. Being a CWA Trustee The Trustees play a crucial role in informing the strategic direction of Cardiff Women’s Aid, ensuring the organisation is governed correctly, providing financial scrutiny and oversight, and scrutinising the activity of the organisation as well as the operational decisions taken by the CEO. The Trustees undertake this work either as part of a full Board or within one of two Sub-Groups (Finance and Risk; and Human Resources and Governance). All work is undertaken on a voluntary basis, as valued members of the wider Cardiff Women’s Aid team. All Trustees are responsible for Cardiff Women’s Aid. However, they are acknowledged to be working as part of a team. Trustees are expected to show levels of skill, care and competence appropriate to their actual knowledge and experience. As such, individual Trustees are entitled and expected to draw upon the skills and expertise of other members of the Board, and to seek external information and guidance where appropriate. Being a Trustee requires a commitment of time to prepare for and attend Full Board meetings as well as Sub-Group meetings and the Annual General Meeting. Full Board meetings are held once every quarter, from 6pm-8.30pm. All Trustees are required to participate in at least one Sub- Group. These meetings are also held once every quarter, from 6pm-7.30pm. Trustees are also encouraged to pay occasional visits to the refuges and the Women’s Centre, as well as attend the annual Staff Away-day, the AGM and the Board’s annual strategic planning day 2 Meet our Trustees Paul Bevan - Chair Paul has worked in the housing, care and support sector for over 30 years.

Since then, she has been involved with groups and individual survivors of abuse, and has campaigned constantly in the churches to raise awareness of violence against women, and to combat gender discrimination. She is a trustee of MAECymru, a new organisation, working to help women realise their full potential at every level of church life, and to make churches into better places of healing and safety for all people.

  • Descent of St. Maur and Seymour Families
    -390- ST MAUR AND SEYMOUR DESCENT OF ST.MAUR FAMILY OF CO.MONMOUTH AND SEYMOUR FAMILY OF HATCH, CO.SOMERSET by Paul C. Reed1 ABSTRACT This Seymour family became renowned in the person of Jane Seymour, who died twelve days after the birth of Edward, the only legitimate son of Henry VIII to survive infancy. It is not surprising that the origins of this family came under the focus of the earliest English historians and genealogists, including Camden, Dugdale and Vincent. Brydges and others later attempted fuller accounts in their works on the peerage, but the paucity of surviving records has allowed errant conclusions and fictions to persist in the most widely available modern accounts. The purpose of this article is to present a fresh analysis of what survives and bring the subject up to current standards of scholarship. Foundations (2008) 2 (6): 390-442 © Copyright FMG and the author As is the case with so many medieval English families, our knowledge of the earliest generations of the Seymours in the century and a half after Domesday is vague and uncertain. The earliest definitely traceable ancestor appears in record because of his acquisition of land—he burst onto the scene through conquest. In a period when preserving the king’s peace would normally have forbad dispossessing anyone of a manor (whether they had been in legitimate possession or not), at this specific time it furthered the interests of the crown to have Englishmen displace the native Welsh. Even after the family acquired heritable land, the descent of the male line through the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries is not entirely certain because of the scant survival of documents concerning manors and lands in the Marches of Wales.

  • A History of Unitarianism: in Transylvania, England and America Volume II (1952)
    A History of Unitarianism: In Transylvania, England and America Volume II (1952) This text was taken from a 1977 Beacon Press edition of Wilbur’s book and was made possible through the generous and kind permission of Earl Morse Wilbur’s family, with whom the copyright resides. PREFACE THE AUTHOR'S earlier work, A History of Unitarianism: Socinianism and Its Antecedents (Cambridge, 1945) was designed, though no indication was given in the preface or elsewhere, as the first of two volumes on the general subject. The present volume therefore is to be taken as the second or complementary volume of the work, and any cross-references to the former work are given as to Volume 1. The present book has been written with constant reference to available sources, and the author's obligation to various persons for valued help given still stand; but further acknowledgment is here made to Dr. Alexander Szent-Ivanyi, sometime Suffragan Bishop of the Unitarian Church in Hungary, who has carefully read the manuscript of the section on Transylvania and made sundry valued suggestions; to Dr. Herbert McLachlan, formerly Principal of the Unitarian College, Manchester, who has performed a like service for the chapters of the English section; and to Dr. Henry Wilder Foote for his constant interest and for unnumbered services of kindness in the course of the whole work I can not take my leave of a subject that has engaged my active interest for over forty-five years, and has furnished my chief occupation for the past fifteen years, without giving expression to the profound gratitude I feel that in spite of great difficulties and many interruptions I have been granted life and strength to carry my task through to completion.
