Becoming a Trustee is an opportunity to play a meaningful role in shaping the future of Toucan and the support we provide to children and young people across Gloucestershire. As a Trustee, you’ll help guide our strategic direction, ensure we remain true to our mission, and support the long‑term sustainability of our work.
