Coin Street is one of Europe's largest social developments. Located on London's iconic Southbank - and established in 1984 - its 13-acre site is at the heart of a thriving neighbourhood with co-operative homes, parks and gardens, shops and design studios, galleries, restaurants, a family and children's centre, sports pitches, and a range of community programmes and activities.
Coin Street is overseen by three independent organisations working together: Coin Street Community Builders (CSCB), Coin Street Secondary Housing Co-operative (CSS) and Coin Street Centre Trust (CSCT). These organisations are governed by voluntary boards, made up of members from the local community and experts from the sectors in which we work. All three organisations are served by a single staff team, employed by CSCB. Coin Street's vision is one where diverse groups of people come together to live, work and play. We generate around 75% of our income from commercial activities and then reinvest the majority of those funds back into our community.
Non-Executive Board Members
Unremunerated
SE1, London
As with many organisations, the pandemic had sudden and significant implications for Coin Street. We had to shift daily, face-to-face community groups online, and saw our income drop from lack of footfall to Central London. As our community faced loss of jobs, closure of schools and isolation, we partnered with local business and organisations to provide over 16,000 meals, 1,000 activity care packages and are collaborating as part of the new Waterloo Community Resilience Hub to support the local recovery effort. More recently we have again adapted to the needs of our community: reaching out to Afghan refugee arrivals and preparing to support families from Ukraine. Longer term, we have consent to build a new public swimming pool and leisure centre along with flats as part of phase two of a development site on Doon Street. We are also raising funds to enhance the public park of Bernie Spain Gardens.
This is an incredibly exciting time to join us as a Non-Executive Board Member to support Coin Street to achieve these plans. Our boards play the role of a critical friend, advising on vision, connectivity, governance, and strategy, ensuring Coin Street remains true to its community mission, is well run and successful. As some of our members are due to rotate off the Board and following a recent skills audit, our CSCB board is now recruiting. We are looking for people who live in North Southwark or Waterloo (North Lambeth); local lived experience is so important to us it is enshrined in our organisation's legal framework. We are particularly interested in those with experience in Finance & Treasury; Audit & Risk and/or Corporate Services (Legal, Health & Safety, IT) as well as those with a commercial background in landlord tenancy, conferencing, and events.
We want to better reflect the community that we serve, and we particularly encourage applications from Black, Asian, and other Minority Ethnic groups, women, and members of the LGBTQ+ community who are currently underrepresented on our boards. As a community-based organisation, we are also keen to see applications from those with experience of community development initiatives as well as those with knowledge of Waterloo and North Southwark neighbourhoods.

MSI Reproductive Choices is one of the world’s leading providers of sexual and reproductive healthcare. We believe that everyone should have the right to choose. From contraception to safe abortion and life-saving post-abortion care, we are committed to delivering compassionate, affordable, high-quality services for all.
Today, our organisation has over 9,000 team members working in 37 countries across the world. Our success lies in the fact that MSI teams are locally led, entrepreneurial and results-driven, and are passionate about delivering high quality, client-centered care, in their own communities. As a social business, we focus on sustainable delivery, efficiency, and funding models that are built to last, so that the women and girls we serve today will have a choice in the future too.

For others, it means being able to look after the family they already have. For everyone, it means the freedom to decide their own future, creating a fairer, more equal world.
The role
MSI is seeking a dynamic, bold, and strategic fundraising leader to establish a new team with-in MSI focused on securing new private donors outside of the US market. This role offers a remarkable opportunity to shape and lead MSI’s ambitious goals and vision for high-value private funding sources, which today contributes a third of our global funding.
This newly established team and leadership role sits within the International Partnerships and Philanthropy (P&P) team which leads on our global engagement with foundations, trusts, corporate partners, and philanthropists. We have a highly successful US and UK philanthropy program and a proven track record of building high scale & ambitious global funder relationships and a track record of delivering remarkable impact results.

- Develop clear stewardship and solicitation plans for identified key funding prospects.
- Establish strong collaborative relationships across MSI to ensure all the resources, support, and partnerships are in place to optimize success. Work with MSI colleagues to support organisational understanding of how New Funding programs work optimally.
