Trustee

Do you share our passion for providing empowering, transformational experiences to children and young people (8-28yrs) with muscular dystrophy and allied neuro-muscular conditions in the UK?

The Muscle Help Foundation are seeking committed individuals, with an interest in improving the lives of children and young people with disabilities (specifically those with muscular dystrophy), to join our Board of Trustees.

We are looking to appoint two to three Trustees to join our Trustee Board from March 2021 onwards. Trustees are responsible for the overall governance and strategic direction of the charity, working with the CEO to develop our aims, objectives and goals in accordance with our governing document, legal and regulatory guidelines.

You will have a strong personal commitment to the charity's vision and values. Whether you are an experienced Trustee or taking your first step as a Trustee, we would love to hear from you. Being a Trustee will give you the opportunity to use your skills, passion and commitment to help shape the future of our charity and to improve the lives of vulnerable people.

This year, 2021, sees the charity reach its 18th Anniversary in March; a key milestone – this is an opportunity to bring your skills, talents, and experience in making an important difference in a role that we hope you will find immensely fulfilling.

Trustee Responsibilities:

- Have an opportunity to help improve the lives of children, young people and their families
- Contribute to the governance of our small national charity
- Have strategic responsibility for a skill area e.g. digital, safeguarding, fundraising or corporate partnerships
- Act as advocates in promoting our work across your network
- Receive induction, support and training
- Have an opportunity to use and develop your skills

Trustee Requirements:

You may have close experience of living with muscular dystrophy, other disabilities or life limiting conditions, but this is desirable and not essential.

Our key criteria are that you have a commitment to the charity’s values and enthusiasm, an understanding and passion for our work, and a desire to make a difference to the lives of our beneficiary community. We would also particularly welcome applications from individuals with skills and experience in digital, fundraising and corporate partnerships although other skill sets that will contribute to the good governance are most welcome too.

The expected time commitment is approximately 4-6 hours per month, to include taking part in Trustee Board meetings and being involved in occasional projects.

As a direct consequence of the pandemic, the Board of Trustees are currently meeting virtually by videoconference for a ‘power hour’ each month, and for two hours each quarter. Usually, Trustee Board meetings are held quarterly in and around London for three hours; we expect to continue the practice of virtual meeting which will be reviewed over the coming 12 months – this may change in the future, depending on the needs of the charity and our Trustee Board.

About the Muscle Help Foundation:

We are the Muscle Help Foundation, an award-winning specialist national family-centred charity that delivers transformational, highly personalised, empowering experiences in the UK, called Muscle Dreams for children and young people (8-28yrs) with muscular dystrophy and allied neuromuscular conditions. Our social currency is underpinned by the idea that an experience, if executed brilliantly, can be transformative and empowering for both a young person and their family.

As a result of COVID-19, MHF took the extremely difficult decision to postpone our planned 2020 Muscle Dream activities in March 2020. We remain resolute and determined to continue our vital work into 2021 until our beneficiaries and families are able to re-engage in face-to-face activities. We are currently engaging with our community across the country and reducing our Muscle Dream wait-list in addition to offering other virtual programmes wherever possible.

The Muscle Help Foundation is an Equal Opportunities employer. We are seeking applications from individuals with a diversity of experience and perspectives, including age, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, and socio-economic and cultural background.

The charity is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of vulnerable young adults and children at risk; we expect you to share this commitment. The charity will require an Enhanced Disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Services for successful candidates; the charity will manage this process.

At Stonewall, our vision is for a world where everyone, everywhere can be themselves. We work to ensure acceptance without exception, so that lesbian, gay, bi and trans (LGBT) people around the world can participate fully in society and enjoy lives free from discrimination. We work to do this in a way that is aligned to our values.

Stonewall has achieved many great things since we were founded in 1989, from securing legislation which allowed same-sex couples to marry, to the repeal of Section 28.

But today, over thirty years later, our work feels more vital than ever. Our research shows that life for many LGBT people is still tough - hate crime and discrimination remain commonplace at home, work, school, and in public. We also know that COVID-19 is having a particularly acute impact on LGBT people, many of whom have found themselves trapped in hostile home environments or cut off from support networks.

But there remains much to do and our Board is working to help steer the direction of Stonewall, ensure it is fit and able to meet new challenges including the current pandemic and support our new senior executive team as we build our new strategy.

We are seeking to appoint new Trustees who may have a background in a range of areas to support our work in the following areas; professional fundraising or campaigning; digital transformation; crisis communications or political management and human resource leadership. We also seek the lived experience of black people and people of colour; of trans and non-binary people; those living and working outside the capital and our straight allies.

Most important, the successful candidates will be able to embody and model Stonewall's values and behaviours - able to demonstrate understanding of both privilege and intersectionality and the challenges that face the identities and communities that Stonewall supports.

We are committed to ensuring we have a range of diverse experience on the Board. This enables us to benefit on the Board from the very diversity that we seek to achieve in society.
