Board trustee volunteer roles

Help shape the future of Carers Trust Solihull.
We’re seeking a new Trustee Treasurer,a sharp financial mind with a steady hand and a big heart, to guide our charity through its next chapter. You’ll ensure every pound works harder for unpaid carers who give so much, often with little rest or recognition.

For over 25 years, Carers Trust Solihull has supported thousands of people caring for loved ones, spouses, parents, siblings, even children, who look after someone who couldn’t manage without them. As demand grows and funding tightens, your financial leadership will be vital to sustaining and expanding this lifeline.

You’ll join a skilled, compassionate Board, working closely with our CEO and managers to oversee budgets, shape strategy, and strengthen long-term stability. You’ll turn numbers into insight, helping the Board make confident, evidence-based decisions about growth, reserves, and sustainability.

This is more than governance, it’s legacy. Your work will help deliver respite breaks, wellbeing sessions, and community outreach to those who need them most. You’ll be central to how we evolve, diversify income, and explore new opportunities, including the use of Artificial Intelligence to improve our efficiency and reach.

We’re looking for someone who combines financial acumen with empathy and integrity, a professional who can interpret data, assess risk, and communicate clearly. A formal accounting qualification is helpful but not essential. What matters most is a strategic mind and a commitment to using your expertise for good.

If you’re ready to make your skills count, not just on a balance sheet, but in real lives changed, we’d love to hear from you.

South Mitcham Community Association (SMCA) is looking for new Trustees.

We are a small charity, running a much-valued community centre in the heart of Mitcham.

We are looking for people to join our Board of Trustees, helping us to meet our ambitions in creating a Community Hub.

If you have an interest in any of the following, then we would love to hear from you:

• Community development and outreach – meeting new people
• Developing new projects and activities
• Listening to others and putting forward their ideas and views
• Being an advocate and representing the charity

We need people with a range of skills, but commitment, interest and passion are just as important.

We meet every 2 months, and there may be the odd additional meeting, bit of work in-between.

This is a voluntary (unpaid) role.

We’re looking for people who care deeply about making a difference, people who want to help shape a more compassionate, care-centred future for the performing arts.

Our aim is to build a Board that truly represents the people we serve — in background, identity, experience, and voice. We want everyone to feel that they belong and can play a meaningful part in our work.

We know that joining a Board can sometimes feel daunting, so we’re committed to removing barriers and offering the support you need to take part fully and confidently.

We especially welcome people with lived experience that reflects the realities of care — whether you’re a carer or young carer, a young person, or someone from a background or identity that’s often under-represented in leadership.

Your insights, your story, and your perspective are invaluable in helping us shape a more inclusive and responsive organisation — one that truly reflects and serves the communities around us.

If you’re passionate about what we do and ready to bring your experience and ideas to help lead positive change, we’d love to hear from you.

ATSF is looking to recruit two new members to its board of trustees - one with educational experience and the second a more general trustee- to help shape its future and support education in Greater London.

Organisation background

The Foundation is an unincorporated registered charity that is currently going through a period of transition. It has existed in different forms for more than three centuries. The Foundation was established to teach practical and academic skills to equip “poor boys for trades or university”.  Until recently it fulfilled its educational charitable objective by providing land, buildings and grants to a school in Oval. Following the closure and sale of that school in 2023, the Trustees are entering an exciting new phase in the Foundation’s story.  They are reviewing how to deliver the best educational outcomes for young people in the area of benefit, Greater London, and are looking to work with local schools, partners and stakeholders to achieve this.

Required skills and experience

Educational Trustee –  an applicant should have an understanding of local educational needs -either in the area of benefit or within specific areas of Greater London. They should have experience of working with stakeholders involved in education and a willingness to liaise with those stakeholders, potential grantee schools and other partners. The Trustees want to provide support where it will be most effective and a background in educational funding would be an advantage as would a willingness to develop a collaborative relationship with new grantee schools.

General Trustee
A successful applicant will play an important role in overseeing our activities and in ensuring we continue to pursue our objectives effectively and responsibly. Ideally an applicant should have experience with grant making or other charitable organisations and with helping formulate important strategic decisions to provide long term educational benefit.
