Are you passionate about creating opportunities for the next generation? Want to use your skills to support a grassroots charity doing powerful work with young people in London? DFY Sports is looking for new trustees to help us grow, reach further, and have even greater impact.
Who we are
DFY Sports helps young people aged 4–15 from underserved communities flourish through sport. Based in Brent and active across surrounding boroughs, we deliver PE sessions, after-school clubs, holiday camps, football training, and run an ambassador programme connected to our founding sports agency, ISC.

- Ensure funds are well managed and spent with integrity
✅ Community
- Champion the needs and voices of the local community in Brent and NW London
- Build connections with local schools, grassroots groups and families
- Help us stay rooted, responsive and inclusive in everything we do
⚽ Your core responsibilities as a trustee will include:
- Attending quarterly board meetings
- Reading board materials in advance and actively participating
- Contributing to DFY’s strategic direction and key decisions
- Supporting your specific area of responsibility, as outlined above
You don’t need to have trustee experience, just care, commitment, and the willingness to bring your skills to a team working to create lasting change for young people through sport. Training and support can be provided.
