Join Us as a Trustee and Help Change the Story for Bladder Sufferers!
For over 30 years, Bladder Health UK has stood shoulder to shoulder with people living with bladder illness - offering trusted information, expert guidance, and a compassionate ear. But right now, the need for our work is greater than ever.
Across the UK, bladder sufferers are being left behind. 6% of women in England suffer with Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs). 25% of all antibiotic prescriptions are for UTIs. Waiting times to see a Urologist stretch up to 12 months. Post-COVID, continence clinics have been cut, GP access is harder than ever, and too many people are left feeling dismissed, misdiagnosed, or even medically gaslit.
This is where we step in - and where you could too.
What We Do
We are a lifeline. Every day, we:
- Respond to emails and calls from people in distress, providing evidence-based guidance that cuts through fear and confusion.
- Offer practical advice and emotional support grounded in real-world experience - helping sufferers manage symptoms, understand treatment options, and regain a sense of control.
- Deliver dynamic, expert-led webinars and events that translate cutting-edge medical insight into accessible, empowering information for both sufferers and professionals.
- Drive research that keeps the patient voice at the heart of innovation - shaping future care through real stories, real data, and real need.
- Campaign tirelessly for change - working with healthcare providers, policymakers and the NHS to push bladder health up the agenda and improve standards of care.
Why This Matters Now
Bladder illness remains one of the most overlooked areas of healthcare - yet its impact is often life-altering. Pain, exhaustion, mental distress, and isolation are common. And now, troubling trends are emerging.
People are being passed from pharmacy to pharmacy, denied GP appointments, misdiagnosed or ignored. Infections recur. Antibiotic resistance grows. Clinics close. Continence support disappears. Patient choice is eroded. This isn’t just a system under strain - it’s a system leaving people behind.
At Bladder Health UK, we don’t accept that. We support individuals - and we challenge the system. We’re here to advocate, educate, and fight for better. But we can’t do it alone.
The Opportunity
We’re seeking bold, committed individuals to join our Board of Trustees and help drive our next chapter.
This is more than a governance role. It’s a chance to be part of something urgent, ambitious, and deeply needed. You’ll help shape the future of a national charity that punches far above its weight. You’ll bring your skills, insight, and passion to a team determined to make a real, tangible difference.
We welcome applicants from all sectors - private, clinical, public, or voluntary. Whether you’re an experienced trustee or completely new to the role, what matters most is your commitment to our mission.
We’re especially keen to hear from people with experience in:
- Fundraising (individual giving, trusts and foundations, or community fundraising)
- Marketing, branding, and communications
- Campaigning, influencing, or lobbying
- Medical practice – including GPs, Urologists, Urology Nurses, or Allied Health Professionals
If you can:
· Think strategically and creatively
· Communicate clearly and sensitively in large group discussions
· Use independent judgement to make decisions on behalf of the organisation
· Be committed to our mission, vision and values
· Attend four trustee meetings per year via Teams and our charity AGM in person
· Attend and assist at our annual conference
· Commit to a minimum term of two years

Came to Believe Recovery UK (CTBR UK) is a not-for-profit organisation helping people break free from addiction through immersive residential retreats and online support. We’re looking for new trustees to join our team and help us build our organisation and reach.
If you care about changing lives by making long-term addiction recovery more accessible, want to use your skills for good, and enjoy being part of a positive, purpose-led team — this could be a brilliant fit.
Who We Are
CTBR UK runs non-clinical retreats and meetings for people recovering from all forms of addiction. Our programme is built around the 12 Steps and spiritual principles, delivered in a supportive, welcoming and down-to-earth way, where all are welcome regardless of beliefs or faith.
We’ve supported hundreds of people on their journey toward freedom — and we’re just getting started.
We’re currently preparing to register as a charity, with big plans to:
- Grow our support across England and Wales
- Build long-term sustainability through funding and partnerships
- Strengthen our governance and accountability as we scale
- Keep our retreats open, accessible, and inclusive for all
Who We’re Looking For
You don’t need to have been a trustee before – although prior experience is welcome. We're especially interested in people with skills in any of the following areas:
- Business, operations or charity leadership
- Finance or bookkeeping

- HR or volunteer coordination
If you're organised, thoughtful, and comfortable working as part of a small remote team, you'll fit right in. We're also keen to hear from people who have worked in community support, health and wellbeing, or have experience working with vulnerable adults in third-sector projects.

As a trustee, you’ll help guide the direction of CTBR UK as we continue to grow. You’ll:
- Help shape our future plans, activities and strategy
- Offer support and oversight to ensure we stay on track and legally compliant
- Use your skills and voice to improve what we do
- Work alongside our small, motivated, and friendly team
We meet a minimum of quarterly online and keep in touch where appropriate between meetings. There’s no fundraising requirement or large time commitment.
