Global Majority

Anyone who identifies as female
LGBTQIA+
Neurodivergent
Young people aged 18-40
Based in, or with strong connections to, communities across Scotland

Board Members are asked to:

Fundraise
Participate one annual Board development day
Attend SYFF screenings, workshops or events where possible.
Support strategic planning, good governance and the long-term sustainability of the organisation
