We’re looking for an exceptional leader to become our next Chair of Trustees — and help shape the future of Little Village. 
 
What began as a grassroots response has grown into a London‑wide baby bank network, supporting thousands of families every year. But with more than one in three children in London living in poverty, our work — and our ambition — has never mattered more. 
 
Over the next chapter, we plan to expand our reach across London and scale our advocacy, including our national leadership as a co-founder of the Baby Bank Alliance, to drive lasting systems change for families experiencing poverty. 
 
As our current Chair’s term comes to an end in early 2027, we’re seeking someone with strong governance experience, strategic vision, and a deep commitment to social impact — someone ready to help lead an organisation with growing influence, reach and responsibility. 

We’d love to hear from you if you:  

• Have experience chairing boards, committees or senior leadership meetings.  

• Have strong understanding of governance (best practice)  

• Have experience of charity fundraising and income generation  

• Can commit the time and expertise to play a key role on our Board.  

• Share our passion for tackling child poverty and supporting families.  

This is an opportunity to play a defining role in a movement for change. 

We are especially keen to diversify our Board and particularly welcome applications from men and people under-represented in charity governance, including those from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+ people, people with disabilities, and people with lived experience of poverty.

This Role Turns Digital Campaigns Into Real-World Impact. At Tell My Truth and Shame the Devil C.I.C., online fundraising is more than clicks—it’s building a movement.
The Online Fundraising and Campaign Manager ensures that all digital campaigns—from social media drives to crowdfunding initiatives—are strategically designed, executed, and optimised for impact. You will lead online engagement, campaign planning, and donor acquisition strategies, connecting supporters to the CIC’s mission and converting attention into meaningful action. This is not a passive posting role—it is strategic, high-energy, and central to scaling the CIC’s digital impact.

Why This Role Matters

Online fundraising is critical for the CIC’s sustainability:

• It generates immediate and scalable revenue for programmes
• It grows awareness and community support beyond geographic boundaries
• It empowers supporters to engage meaningfully with the CIC’s mission

Without this role, online campaigns risk low engagement, wasted effort, or lost opportunities. With it, the CIC can reach thousands of supporters efficiently and ethically.

• Develop innovative engagement strategies: Create and test creative campaign ideas, challenges, peer-to-peer fundraising initiatives, and digital engagement activities that motivate supporters to donate, share, and advocate. Continuously explore new trends and tools in online fundraising.
• Coordinate creative assets: Work collaboratively with Content, Communications, and Donor Engagement teams to develop compelling copy, visuals, videos, and calls to action. Ensure consistent messaging, tone, and branding across all digital channels.
• Campaign optimisation and performance monitoring: Track and analyse campaign metrics such as reach, engagement, conversion rates, donation values, and supporter growth. Use insights to adjust strategies in real time and improve campaign effectiveness.
• Data-driven decision making: Interpret analytics and audience behaviour to refine targeting, messaging, timing, and platform use. Support evidence-based recommendations for future fundraising activity.
• Compliance and ethical standards: Ensure all online fundraising activities comply with relevant regulations, platform terms, safeguarding policies, data protection requirements, and ethical fundraising standards. Promote transparency and donor trust at all stages.
• Reporting and accountability: Prepare clear and timely reports on campaign performance, outcomes, and learning for leadership and stakeholders. Highlight successes, challenges, and recommendations for improvement.

About the job

Join the Board of Bristol Historic Buildings Trust — help restore a landmark for the community

Bristol Historic Buildings Trust (BHBT) is seeking passionate new Trustees to help us bring Ashton Court Mansion back to life.

Ashton Court Mansion is a Grade I listed manor house with origins dating to the 14th century, set within an 850-acre estate on the edge of Bristol. After decades of partial dereliction, we are working to take a 125-year lease from Bristol City Council and regenerate this extraordinary building for generations to come — as a living civic place where heritage, creativity and public life meet.

We are transitioning to a Charitable Community Benefit Society and preparing to launch a Community Share Offer in July 2026. This is an exciting moment to join the Board and play a shaping role in the project's next chapter.

We are particularly looking for trustees with skills and experience in:

• Charity finances and governance

• Public engagement and fundraising

• Law

• Commercial and business development

• Community projects — especially in Culture, Food, Skills, Sustainability and Heritage

We are also committed to a board that reflects the community we serve, and actively welcome applications from younger people seeking their first trustee experience.

What's involved:

• 4 quarterly board meetings per year (March, June, September, December) — approx. 2 hours each

• An annual strategy day

• Additional involvement as your skills allow — fundraising, stakeholder meetings, representing the charity at events

• Terms of up to 3 years (renewable)

• The role is unremunerated; reasonable expenses are reimbursed

Our mission: to restore and operate Ashton Court Mansion through a mixed-use model combining conservation, community programming and commercial activity — ensuring long-term financial and public sustainability.

If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you. Informal conversations welcome before applying.
