Trustees x2 – Money Advice Trust

Introduction from the Chair

At the Money Advice Trust, we are at the forefront of helping people and micro businesses facing financial difficulty. It’s a hugely exciting time for the charity – we’re helping more people than ever before, while also laying the foundations for a new era in our charity’s contribution to tackling problem debt in the UK.

Our National Debtline and Business Debtline services helped people through 271,000 advice interactions last year - an increase of 36% - and we have plans to significantly grow our services in the years ahead.

However, with around 8 million people in need of debt advice in the UK, we know there is more to do. We have therefore re-focused the charity’s mission - to help prevent financial difficulty and remove problem debt from people’s lives – and begun work on a clear new strategy to deliver this.

This will see us transform our National Debtline and Business Debtline services, through improved customer journeys, new technology and stronger partnerships, and broaden our reach, particularly with groups of people less likely to seek advice currently. We’ll also do more to prevent financial difficulty occurring in the first place, making this a priority for our influencing and campaigning work.

As Trustees, we play a key role in helping achieve these ambitions, shaping and overseeing the strategic direction, ensuring the charity has the capability and stability to keep making a difference to people’s lives.

We have vacancies for two new Trustees to help us achieve our ambitions. We are particularly interested to hear from people who could help us develop new corporate partnerships and help us grow our reach, and from those with financial qualifications who could succeed Laurence Burgess as our new Chair of Finance Audit and Risk Committee.

If you want to help build a better financial future for millions of people in the UK, then we would love to hear from you.

Women are falling through the net and we want to do more to help them.

We employ a team of nine full and part time staff who support the running of the service, including a director who joined us in April 2023, responsible for managing and developing the staff and service, and developing the strategic direction of the charity alongside the Trustees.

SLDAS is mainly funded by a number of local authority and other national grant providers with an interest in domestic abuse.  Whilst this is a competitive and challenging time for all charities, we have made some steps towards sourcing new multi-year funding to expand our services, making this an exciting time to join us on the board of Trustees.

Please note that this opportunity is open to women only, and is exempt under the Equality Act 2010, Schedule 9, Part 1.

Becoming a Trustee with SLDAS offers a chance to make a real difference to the lives of women at risk of domestic abuse, but it will also offer you opportunities to meet new people, take on new challenges and volunteer in an interesting and strategic role.

To join the board of Trustees as Treasurer, we are particularly interested in receiving applications from women with strong skills and professional experience in the following areas:

• Previous Trusteeship role(s);

• Knowledge of charity accounting guidelines;

• Budgeting and forecasting;

• Management reporting, and the ability to explain financial concepts to non-finance trustees and staff;

• An enquiring approach, not afraid to ask questions or challenge;

• An understanding and acceptance of the legal duties, responsibilities and liabilities of trusteeship;

• Clear communication skills, and the ability to work effectively as a member of a board.

The Treasurer will also be expected to attend and chair the Finance Planning and Fundraising sub committee.  Some mentoring hours with the Director and the Finance worker may also be expected.  

SLDAS recognise that the role of a Trustee is a responsible position and that you may require training and support to conduct your role to the best of your ability. We therefore offer Trustees an induction, ongoing training and opportunities for mentoring from other Trustees.

The time commitment for Trustees is around 4-6 hours a month. Board meetings are monthly, usually in the evenings. Most of the meetings are virtual via zoom meeting, although we do try and meet in person on occasion, either at the office or in the South Liverpool area.

Who we are

We are seeking trustees to work with a small non-profit family mediation service covering West and North Yorkshire.  The service has been in operation for 30 years, helping families that have experienced a breakdown to resolve their outstanding issues surrounding their children, property and finances with a view to avoid the trauma and expense of attending family court. Our mission is simple, by helping people resolve these issues we aim to reduce the mental health traumas incurred by both adults and children who have experienced a family breakdown whilst helping them to alleviate the financial hardship that so often follows a relationship breakdown.

We deliver our service to over a thousand clients annually both remotely and face to face from our main office suite in Bradford and from our satellite suites in Leeds and York.

We do have a small but active board of trustees who bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the service and who provide the financial and operational oversight that the service requires. 

Who we are looking for

We are looking to expand the number of board members and would welcome expressions of interest from people who would like to be involved with the service and to help us on our mission to continually improve and grow. Whilst there is no specific criteria requested, we would welcome expressions of interest from people who have a legal background, or can help develop our business acumen, or who can aid us with marketing and promotion or who have experience in HR.

The involvement of our trustees in the strategic planning and oversight of the charity is absolutely essential to the success of the service.  We hold four trustee meetings each year, three of which are usually held remotely.

How to contact us

If you would like to get involved in the charity sector and have an interest in learning about family mediation then please contact our service manager, Gordon Laing.
