Trustee [20739]

Dumfries Table Tennis Club

Be part of something different in Dumfries, as trustee of a table tennis club that is about much more than just ping pong.
Yes, we want to get people playing. We’ve got the best purpose-built table tennis facility in Scotland, a great coaching programme, and lots of opportunities for both social and competitive play.
But we see table tennis as much more than that. We’re about improving health and wellbeing through physical activity, forming social connections between people of all ages and abilities, creating a safe and inclusive environment. About being part of the community in Dumfries, joining in with town events and partnering with schools and many other organisations.
We became a charity in June 2026, and we’re looking for additional trustees to help our Board to work effectively as a SCIO as we develop our ambitious plans. We are especially seeking individuals with financial, business and charity/third-sector experience. But we welcome enquiries from anyone who is enthusiastic, willing to learn and who supports our vision of an inclusive community-focused sports club.
