Volunteers are at the heart of CHIPS. From running activities with young people to providing behind-the-scenes support to bringing expert advice to our teams on-the-ground in Ghana, our volunteers play a vital role in making our work possible. Their dedication, skills, and passion help us bring communities together, create safe spaces, and support those affected by conflict and division. Whether you can give a little time or a lot, we’d love to have you as part of our team!

Trustee
Trustees hold the most crucial roles at CHIPS. A trustee is a volunteer who takes on the legal responsibility to help guide and oversee the strategic direction of the charity, ensuring it stays true to its mission and operates responsibly. Trustees bring their skills and experience to support governance, financial management, and key decision-making, making a vital contribution to the charity’s success.
We are looking for 2 new trustees. -
