<strong style="font-weight: bold; ">London & South East Region<br>Terms - between one and three years</strong><br><br>BBC Children in Need provides grants to positively change the lives of disadvantaged children and young people across the UK. We celebrate diversity and positively encourage applications from all parts of the community for these positions. BBC Children in Need operates four grant rounds a year, therefore committees meet at the end of March, June, September and January each year. The meeting requirement will be 1-2 days per grant round. <br>
<br>Committee members make up a small team bringing a range of skills, knowledge and experience including: working with children; the voluntary sector; disability; social services; equal opportunities; business planning and finance; and the Children’s Act. This is a volunteer role with appointments for a term of between one and three years, subject to references and agreement by the BBC Children in Need Appeal Trustees. Regional Advisory Committees advise the Trustees on grant awards. <br>
<br>Committee members advise the Trustees on which organisations should be funded by BBC Children in Need within their regions. We expect committee members to bring a sound understanding of the current issues facing children and young people experiencing disadvantage, a good understanding of the voluntary and statutory sectors, a good local/regional knowledge of their region and strong strategic, analytical, collaborative and objective decision making skills. <br>
