Thinking of being a trustee of Dumfries Table Tennis Club SCIO?

Thank you for your interest in becoming a trustee of our table tennis club. 

Our mission is to get people playing table tennis. That’s why we bring together people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds to enjoy the game.

Our purpose-built facility is home to competitive players and complete beginners, junior coaching and busy over-50s sessions, disability programmes, and sessions for people living with conditions such as Parkinson’s.

We work with NHS partners, schools and community organisations to help more people enjoy being active. We know that table tennis helps people build confidence, make friends and find a community they want to keep coming back to.

You can help us turn that potential into lasting impact

Dumfries Table Tennis Club has been in existence for over 50 years, and in the summer of 2026, we became a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO). With our membership and activities growing rapidly, we are looking for additional trustees to help guide our next chapter.

As a trustee, you will help shape our priorities, oversee how the charity is run and ensure our ambitions are matched by sound decisions.

What could you bring?

We would particularly welcome experience in finance, business or the charity and third sector. We are also interested in hearing from people with backgrounds in health and social care, disability and inclusion, technology, or community development.

You do not need to be an expert in all these areas. We value practical experience, fresh perspectives, sound judgement and a willingness to learn.

You do not need to play table tennis or have been a trustee before. What matters is that you share our belief in a welcoming, inclusive club that contributes to life in Dumfries, and are committed to playing your part.

What is involved?

• Four or five online Board meetings each year, lasting up to two hours, plus the AGM.
• Around 1–2 hours between meetings to read papers and contribute to discussions and decisions.
• Onboarding to help you settle into the role.
• Opportunities to get more involved if you wish, although this is optional.

This is a voluntary, unpaid role, which can largely be done remotely.

Interested? 

If you’d like an informal chat about the role before deciding whether to apply, you are welcome to visit the club to see a session (or have a game!). Or we can arrange a video call with Anne Borrowdale, our Chair of Trustees. Just contact us using the form below, and we will get back to you.
