About BABCP: The British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP) is a charity and the lead organisation for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in the UK and Ireland. We are a membership body with over 23,000 members and as a professional organisation we promote, improve and uphold standards of CBT practice, supervision and training. Our CBT Register is accredited by the Professional Standards Authority. We were founded over fifty years ago, and have experienced significant growth in recent years, moving from a highly regarded special interest group to a professional association. We recognise the importance of high-quality mental healthcare that is evidence-based, and we help to protect the public by supporting best practice. We value diversity, integrity and professionalism – you can read more about our strategy and values on our website. BABCP is a registered charity and a limited company in law. We have a staff team of around fifty people and annual income in excess of £3m.
What we are looking for?: We are looking for up to two new lay people to join our Board as ‘Lay Trustee Directors’, meaning you will be both a trustee of the charity and a director of the company. Our Board is made up of ten Trustee Directors who are elected from within BABCP’s membership and up to three Lay Trustee Directors. We are looking for Lay Trustee Directors with a proven track record of excellence in their field, who can bring fresh perspectives and experience from other professional sectors and walks of life.
You should:
- Be able to take important decisions using sound, objective reasoning and with good attention to detail.
- Be willing to ask questions and constructively challenge the status quo.
- Be able to think creatively and strategically, while being committed to operating with integrity.
- Have the capacity to devote time and effort to the role.
- Understand the responsibilities of the position.
- Not be barred from acting as charity trustee or company director (further eligibility declarations and checks will be required if appointed).
We particularly welcome applicants with skills and expertise in any of the following:
- Finance
- Human Resources
- Digital and data governance
- Equity, Diversity & Inclusion
- Marketing, communications and public relations
- Legal, ideally in the professional regulation sphere
- Risk management
- Governance and charity management
We recognise that skills and experience come in many forms, and that some groups have traditionally faced barriers in accessing formal opportunities. BABCP welcomes applications from those who possess the relevant attributes and experience drawn from all aspects of their lives and those who may have had a less traditional career pathway.
While we are looking to bring fresh ‘lay’ perspectives to our Board, if you are one of the millions of people who have direct or indirect lived experience of CBT and related therapies, you may find this experience helps to bring the value of this role to life.
What will you be doing?: As a Trustee Director you will, as part of the wider Board, oversee the organisational structures, systems, policies and resources in place to achieve the charitable objects of the Association. You will help ensure that BABCP exclusively pursues its stated purpose against a defined strategy and in compliance with its governing document and relevant legislation and regulation. You will attend our Board meetings, reviewing all Board papers in advance. You may also be asked to participate in additional committees or working groups focused on specific themes areas, taking into account your areas of expertise and interest where possible.
The role is voluntary and unpaid, though travel and approved out-of-pocket expenses will be covered.
How you will you make a difference?: There are very few who are not affected by the consequences of mental health difficulties in the UK and Ireland. By volunteering your expertise and experience with BABCP, you will ultimately be helping to improve the mental wellbeing of those nations and to protect the public who are directly or indirectly impacted by mental health issues.

Kurapa Moyo
Contextualising wellness to the realities of African women through community, care and intention
At Kurapa Moyo, we address the critical gaps in mental health and wellness advocacy across Africa, focusing on the unique challenges faced by youth, women, and marginalized communities. The social and environmental challenges we tackle include:
-
Stigma Around Mental Health: Cultural stigma prevents many individuals from seeking support. We work to normalize conversations around mental health and provide accessible resources to empower individuals to prioritize their well-being.
-
Youth Mental Health Disparities: Many young people, especially in underprivileged settings, lack the tools and safe spaces to process mental health challenges. We create programs that educate and equip youth to become advocates for their mental wellness and their communities.
-
Workplace Wellness for Women: African women often face intersectional barriers, including gender bias and workplace burnout. We design initiatives that promote holistic wellness, encouraging work-life balance and resilience-building practices.
-
Trauma and Collective Healing: The lingering effects of historical and social trauma require intentional spaces for healing. Through programs like creative transcendence journeys, we focus on collective recovery, fostering communities that thrive emotionally and mentally.
Our mission is to cultivate a culture of care and resilience, breaking barriers to wellness and inspiring sustainable change.
At Kurapa Moyo, we believe that healing and resilience grow through intentional community, education, and advocacy. Our solution focuses on creating accessible, transformative programs and spaces that empower individuals and communities to address mental health challenges effectively. Here's how we achieve this:
-
Wellness Advocacy Training Program: This flagship initiative trains young leaders to become mental health advocates. By equipping youth with the knowledge, tools, and networks to create change, we foster a generation of proactive wellness ambassadors who can impact their communities.
-
Workshops and Healing Spaces: We design and facilitate workshops tailored to specific groups, such as women in the workplace and youth navigating mental health stigma. These sessions combine storytelling, evidence-based practices, and culturally relevant approaches to promote self-awareness and collective growth.
-
Creative Healing Journeys: Our creative transcendence programs use art, storytelling, and communal dialogue to address trauma and encourage emotional recovery. These journeys are particularly impactful in creating safe spaces for collective healing.
-
Digital Outreach and Campaigns: Leveraging social media and online platforms, we amplify mental health education through campaigns like “Mental Health at Work,” targeting stigma reduction and wellness promotion among African audiences.
-
Collaboration with Communities: We work alongside community members and organizations to co-create solutions, ensuring our programs address localized needs while promoting ownership and sustainability.

We rebuild tropical fisheries with coastal communities

We support coastal fishers in remote and rural communities to rebuild fisheries, restore ocean life and build lasting pathways to prosperity. Our work began two decades ago in Madagascar’s remote coastal communities and is growing globally.
Across a dozen countries, we’re partnering with traditional fishers and community organisations to design, scale, strengthen and sustain fisheries management and conservation at the community level. We bring partners together in networks to advocate for reform and share tools and best practices to support fishing communities across the globe.
