Boards Wales newsletter – March 2025

Opportunities

As usual, there are some high profile opportunities available, including the Chair of Qualifications Wales, and the British Transport Police Authority which is looking for a member specifically with expertise in railways in Wales. The unpaid roles continue to offer brilliant opportunities to give back to Wales through contributing your expertise.

Blog post

This month I looked at a review of Community and Town Councils in Wales that reaches some interesting conclusions. I think there are some amazing opportunities in the next elections (2027) for a much more diverse group of candidates 🤝✊🌟

A map of Wales subdivided into the 745 community and town councils, some coloured to represent different types of area (such as those without CTCs, or jointly managed).

Events and training

There’s not much currently listed, but it looks as though Pathway to Board is still taking applicants – check out the info here.
