Trustees
Global Non-Profit Organisation
Unremunerated – Travel, representation, and other out-of-pocket expenses directly incurred as part of official business are reimbursed in line with the organisation’s trustee expenses policy.
Prospectus are delighted to be working in partnership with a global non-profit organisation uniquely focused on building and sustaining a worldwide movement to end child, early and forced marriage and unions (CEFMU). This is a significantly under-addressed issue affecting over 12 million girls each year. The organisation is a network of more than 1,400 civil society groups operating across more than 100 countries, united in their efforts to end child marriage.
The organisation’s vision is a world without child marriage — a world in which girls and women enjoy equal status with boys and men and are able to reach their full potential across all areas of life.
This opportunity offers prospective trustees the chance to join the Board of a respected, global movement that is making tangible progress toward ending child marriage. It is a chance to play a vital role in addressing a critical global challenge.
The organisation is seeking to appoint a new cohort of exceptional trustees whose expertise and lived experience will contribute meaningfully to its continued growth and impact. Ideal candidates will be strongly aligned with the organisation’s mission and ready to commit their time, insight, and influence to furthering its goals.

Impact Investment
This trustee will bring substantial knowledge in areas such as impact investment, social finance, or public-private partnerships, with a focus on enabling systemic social change. Experience in mobilising sustainable and innovative funding approaches — such as blended finance, catalytic philanthropy, or outcome-based funding — will be particularly valuable. Candidates will likely have worked across sectors to evidence impact and unlock capital, and will be committed to advancing equity, opportunity, and justice through financial innovation.

A solid grasp of how technology can support community empowerment and systemic change is key.
The organisation is actively working to increase the diversity of its Board, both in terms of professional backgrounds and lived experience. In particular, they are keen to hear from candidates who have lived or worked in contexts where child marriage is highly prevalent.

Responsibilities
The role of a Trustee is to ensure that In2scienceUK fulfils its duty to the young people with whom it works and delivers on its vision. The trustees of In2scienceUK fulfil an essential and influential role, and have the opportunity to both support the activities and strategic decision making of the charity.
Trustees have collective responsibility for the strategy and oversight of the charity and the trustee board works as a team to fulfill its statutory role, to provide help and advice to the staff team, and to represent the organisation in their respective networks.
The expected duties of an In2scienceUK trustee are:
- To contribute actively to teamwork within the Board of Trustees, providing strong strategic direction to the organisation in line with its mission and purpose.
- To safeguard the reputation and values of In2scienceUK and ensure the effective and efficient administration and financial stability of In2scienceUK.

The most important characteristic of our trustees is a commitment to helping young people from low socioeconomic backgrounds access social mobility through careers in STEM, and so helping to ensure that the STEM professions are populated by people reflecting diverse backgrounds, in all respects including socio-economic background.
We need the right mix of skills overall and anticipate making 4-6 appointments in this round who will work collaboratively to ensure good governance and the success of the organisation. Specific areas where we would like to strengthen the team, bearing in mind our natural turnover and our strategy for the future, are listed below.

About Hope and Vision Communities
Hope and Vision Communities provides supported, move-on accommodation in the Reading area for individuals who have successfully completed residential rehabilitation.
The charity was founded in 2020 by Tony Attwood, a former offender who broke free from the cycle of addiction, and the very judge who sentenced him, Peter Ross. Together, they recognized the urgent need for stable housing and a supportive community for men leaving addiction treatment. Having witnessed firsthand how many relapse at this critical stage, Tony developed a plan - one shaped by his own experiences and those of the men around him and who remain an integral part of the charity today.
What will you be doing?
As part of our three-year strategy, we are expanding our work to support women in recovery. We recognise that women’s support and accommodation requirements are different to those of men.

· Understanding of the unique challenges faced by women in recovery, particularly regarding domestic abuse, sexual violence, family relationships, motherhood / maternity and societal stigma.
· Understanding of the impact of trauma upon women, and a commitment to developing services that are trauma responsive.
· Passionate about championing the voices and needs of women in recovery, both within Hope and Vision and beyond.
· Commitment to co-production. A working understanding of how to embed it throughout all stages of service design and delivery.
· Commitment to Hope and Vision Communities’ mission and a passion for supporting people in recovery.
· Ability to provide strategic guidance and contribute to high-level decision-making.

Maker Mindz
Maker Mindz is a nonprofit organization. At our core, our mission is simple yet powerful: to ignite children's natural curiosity and foster a deeper understanding of the world around them. By building this foundation, we help cultivate a lifelong love for learning.
Challenges: 92% of boys and 97% of girls lose interest in STEM if not engaged by the 5th grade.
Only 33% of eight graders are interested in STEM majors.
Only 6% of high school seniors will get a bachelor's degree in a STEM field.
Our approach is centered on hands-on, interactive learning experiences. We design immersive environments and develop engaging educational materials that encourage exploration, experimentation, and critical thinking. We aim to empower children to ask questions, seek answers, and discover the joy of learning on their own terms. Through a combination of innovative learning kits, online & in-person workshops, we strive to create an environment where curiosity thrives, and a lifelong love for learning is born.
We believe in the power of the community to ignite change. As Seth Godin says, "A group needs only two things to be a tribe: a shared interest and a way to communicate."
We are building a tribe of passionate individuals who share one powerful mission—making STEM education accessible to all. Whether you're an educator, an engineer, a creator, a designer, a parent, a student, or simply someone who believes in the future of science, technology, engineering, and math, you belong here.
Let's communicate, collaborate, and create a brighter future through STEM!
