Mothers’ Union (MU) is a women-led, volunteer movement founded in 1876, with a membership of some 4 million worldwide. It is a movement based on Christian fellowship, with members driven to express their faith through action in their local communities, aiming to create a world where every individual can reach their full potential, by stopping poverty, injustice and violence.
We are a federated international movement with the central Charity, Mothers’ Union, registered and operating in England, sitting at the centre of the global movement. We connect and support the global movement to achieve its aims and objects and thus transform the lives of women and families around the world.
The Central Charity is governed by an international Board of Trustees, made up of elected leaders from within the global movement and also appointed external experts to fill identified skills gaps.
The Trustees collectively are responsible to the global membership for ensuring that the Central Charity achieves its core purposes. This is achieved through overseeing the management and administration of operations and ensuring that the charity has a clear strategy and that operations and goals are in line with that vision.
The Worldwide Board comprises:
- Worldwide President (elected)
- 11 Zonal Trustees (elected)
- Up to four appointed trustees, with expertise to complement the skills and experience of the elected Board members.
All Board members have voting rights.
Zones: The list of Provinces as allocated to Zones is given in the detailed role specification. Elections are held every 3 years, and the current Board took up office in 2025. The appointed trustees are also appointed for up to 2 terms of 3 years each. However, these do not need to be co-terminus with the elected trustees.
This is un UNPAID position
General Responsibilities of All Trustees:
- To participate actively in Board discussion, to ensure that the Board takes appropriate steps to determine the organisation’s vision and mission, by engaging in strategic planning and tracking progress towards achievement of strategic goals.
- To approve and monitor the organisation’s operational plans and budgets.
- To safeguard the assets and resources of the charity and provide effective financial, risk and operational oversight, by the proper consideration of management accounts, external audits, risk reviews, policies and internal procedures and controls.
- To ensure organisational compliance with all statutory duties and sector best practice.
- To ensure adequate financial resources are available to carry out the work of the whole organisation by consideration and approval of subscription levels and alternative income streams worldwide.
- To enhance the organisation’s public image by participating in activities that promote a positive image of Mothers’ Union, recognising that we need to challenge stereotypes rather than contribute to their perpetuation.
Particular Focus for the Trustee with expertise in Finance:
The elected Board members conducted a skills audit and determined that they do not have strong backgrounds in finance and resources management. The role of the Finance trustee would be to ensure that the appropriate level of support and challenge is given by the Board to management to discharge their duties effectively, be a critical friend to the Director of Finance and Services and be an active member of the Audit and Risk Committee.
They will be asked to provide a particular focus on ensuring that key strategic initiatives, including the ongoing development of IT systems, the potential future sale of the building, Mary Sumner House, and the implementation of the fundraising strategy are executed in line with agreed parameters
All trustees are asked to:
- have an active commitment to Christian faith;
- be committed to the aim and objects of Mothers’ Union;
- be confident with virtual communication and have an ability to access an appropriate device and the internet easily;
- be able to travel internationally if required;
- be in a good state of health, mental and physical, to enable them to discharge their duties fully and well.
- devote the time required to this critical role
A strong Candidate for Finance Trustee would have many of the following attributes, skills and experience:
- CCAB Qualified finance professional (or QBE)
- Experience of operating at Board level and of the charity sector
- An understanding of membership organisations
- Experience of Audit and Risk Committees and engaging with external advisors
- Experience of risk management
- Experience of project evaluation and funding
- Experience of change management
- Basic knowledge of Charity SORP and GDPR requirements
- IT competent
- Proven ability to communicate finance information clearly to non-finance professionals
- An understanding of the governance responsibilities and accountabilities of a Board member of a major international Charity
Additional Information:
What is the time commitment in a three-year period?
In a three-year term of office, Trustees are expected to attend three residential Trustee meetings (one per year) each lasting around 5 days, generally in the UK. We recognise that this may be challenging for professionals, so attendance for at least one day of the week would be acceptable. In addition, at least a further 3 virtual formal meetings a year, each comprising roughly 2 hours starting at 12.00 UK time. The Board may also choose to meet informally on a number of further occasions for fellowship or capability development, virtually, by mutual agreement – it is recognised that this may not be feasible for an active professional.
Written material is circulated to Trustees prior to each meeting. Trustees are expected to read and study the material before the meeting and any follow up material after the meeting.
The specialist trustee for finance will additionally prepare for and attend the quarterly Audit and Risk meetings which take place on Zoom, each lasting 2-3 hours
The specialist trustee may be asked to be available to the Director of Finance and Resources as a sounding board, and to provide input on a time-limited basis to strategic projects
Who will this Trustee work with/relate to in the role?
1. Worldwide President, Chief Executive, fellow Trustees and Leadership Team members
2. Mothers’ Union members from around the world.
3. Finance team
Work Location
This role can be performed fully remotely most of the time.
