Off the Record Bristol (OTR) is a mental health social movement by and for young people.

The position of Trustee is for an initial term of three years, with the potential to extend for subsequent terms. The Board meets in person every quarter in Bristol, with on-line meetings for Trustees only in the month in between. We also aim to have 2 development sessions per year for trustees with the senior leadership team for OTR. This has been crucial in developing our shared vision and commitment to the values of OTR.
