Role

Wanted – exceptional Chair and Trustees for the Scheme Livi. 

The Scheme Livi was built from lived experience — of addiction, trauma, recovery, and everything in between. We know the system doesn’t always work for everyone, so we’re creating something different: a space that’s real, creative, and rooted in community. These values guide everything we do.

With a base of operations at West Lothian College, and having received funding to support their vision, the lads are making a real difference in their community. Every week people are coming together to explore creative outlets and express themselves in new ways, finding new ways to cope and heal, and bring some joy to their lives and each other.

We seek an exceptional chair and trustees to support our growth and sustainability. 

We are particularly interested in people with lived experience of recovery and with expertise in fundraising. 

The Chair of the Scheme Livi plays a pivotal leadership role in ensuring the charity delivers on its mission, maintains strong governance, and operates with transparency and accountability. The Chair leads the Board of Trustees, supports the co-Chief Executives, and acts as an ambassador for the charity.
