Volunteers

GMFA currently has approximately 200 active volunteers. Volunteers are mainly recruited through promotion on all GMFA interventions and undergo an induction process.

We welcome volunteers from all sections of the community, although the majority of our volunteers are gay men who bring an immediate understanding of gay men's health and are representative of the target audience for our work. Our volunteer base is made up of HIV-negative and HIV-positive people who bring different perspectives to the development of our campaigns. The ethnic breakdown of volunteers is:

White British 55%
White non-British 17%
Black British / Caribbean 9%
Black British / African 5%
Black Other 3%
Mixed race 4%
Asian 3%
Other 4%

Directors

Directors, who are also trustees under Charity law, are all GMFA volunteers and are elected to the Board by members of GMFA. Our constitution states that there are nine places on the Board, one of which the Chief Executive holds ex-officio.

The term of office for a Director is four years maximum, and each year at least two members of the Board must stand down. Board members may choose to re-stand for election. New Directors undergo an induction process led by the Chair, and all Directors may access training based on the skills needed to fulfil their role as a Director as set out in their role-description.

Our current Board of Directors consists of the following people:


David Clover
