HANDS AROUND THE WORLD is a charitable non-governmental organisation (NGO) based in Monmouth UK, working with partners in Africa and India to support and help disadvantaged children reach their potential.
The charity is led by Executive Officer, Bridget Higginson and overseen by a group of nine trustees who bring a variety of skills and experience to their roles. We are supported by both our small staff team and the crucial commitment of our volunteers, locally and overseas.
We are currently looking to develop and diversify our board of trustees and are particularly seeking enthusiastic people of all ages who have lived and worked in development in Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Zambia or West Bengal, India.
Our trustees are unpaid volunteers and usually meet every six weeks, mostly on Zoom.
