A New Icon
We level the playing field for athletic sponsorships enabling more athletes to reach their full potential.
Large brands and agencies dominate the sports sponsorship marketplace. As a result, many athletes, including female, disabled, and LGBTQ+ athletes from various ethnicities or lower socioeconomic backgrounds, are often left without sponsors and access to what they need to reach their potential.
In addition, many sponsors need help finding and developing a genuine connection with an athlete, which leads to issues connecting with their audiences. There is no way to search for sponsors or athletes directly without involving costly agencies. Transparency and self-management are crucial in democratising the marketplace. The opportunity to make this sector more equitable is now.
We have built an innovative self-managed athlete-sponsorship platform focused on unique connections between sponsors and athletes. Sponsors, athletes, and fans can sign-up. Athletes create a public profile page with information and media about themselves. Sponsors create campaigns which athletes & teams search and apply for. In addition, all users can follow athletes who post on our social feed. Negotiation steps are in-built before the contract is confirmed; secure payment is taken for the sponsorship amount and held securely. As milestones are reached, an athlete's payment percentage is released, protecting both sides. our latest build has developed our campaign area, where marketing assets are now auto-generated in the brand and athlete voice through AI and ML implementation. Once a campaign has gone live, there is now a dashboard that shows its engagement success and delivers the data points you would expect to understand for each campaign alongside a social value calculation that maps to the SDGs and other CSR markers.

About Classics for All
We believe that delving into the ancient world – through ancient history, classical civilisation, Latin and Ancient Greek – is not only enjoyable but also profoundly beneficial for all pupils. It enhances their cultural awareness, sharpens their language and analytical skills, and boosts their aspirations and achievements.
We are currently developing a new strategy, and as a trustee you will have an opportunity to help shape and deliver our new vision.
Vision
A future where every young person can unlock the wisdom, wonder, and imagination of the ancient world - regardless of background or circumstance.
Mission
We believe that discovering the ancient world can transform lives.
That’s why we work to:
- Ignite curiosity and a lifelong love of learning through the stories, ideas, and cultures of the ancient world
- Raise aspirations and broaden horizons by connecting students with the richness of the past
- Build cultural capital, giving every child access to the knowledge and confidence to thrive
- Empower state schools and teachers to bring Classics to life in every classroom
- Champion the value of Classics as a vital part of a broad, rich, and inclusive education
Our governance
Our Board members are all passionate about changing young people’s lives through accessing Classics education. They are responsible for the strategy and good governance of the charity, working in partnership with the Chief Executive.
There are up currently nine members of our Board, including the Chair and Treasurer. Trustees serve a three-year term which can be renewed.
The Board meets for formal meetings, both in-person and virtually, four times a year. Along with other duties, whilst voluntary, this represents a sizeable time commitment and hard work.
Board committees
In addition to the Board, there is a Finance and Operations Committee who meet quarterly. There are some other operational committees that support different aspects of our work. The committees are small groups of Trustees and volunteers, who focus on particular areas of the charity in line with strategic developments and make recommendations.
Trustees will be encouraged to join a committee best suited to their skills on appointment to the Board. Each committee will be led by a Chairperson who is responsible for the overall running of their committee.
- Finance and Operations Committee: develops and delivers the financial strategy of the charity, including the budget, financial controls and fundraising strategy. It is also responsible for risk management.
- Remuneration Committee: has oversight of the pay process for staff.
- Nominations Committee: responsible for leading Trustee recruitment.
- Philanthropy Advisory Group: supports our fundraising through activating networks and sharing ideas to develop our income generation activities.
- Events Committee: supports the ideation and delivery of events supporting our charitable goals.
Responsibilities of a Trustee
The Board of Trustees is legally responsible for the charity – this is a significant responsibility and one that should not be taken lightly. Trustees have responsibility for ensuring the charity is well run, financially secure, and doing the work it is meant to be doing. There are specific legal and other duties. It is recommended you look at the Charity Commission ‘The Essential Trustee’ guidance, which can be found online here.
You can also view our profile on the Charity Commission website. If you want to find out more about our current Trustees, visit our website.
Trustees are volunteers; they are not paid. Reasonable expenses can, however, be reimbursed (e.g. to cover travel costs).
As a Trustee, you will be acting collectively as part of the Board of Trustees. Together, the Board is responsible for all of the points above.
Role Description
Trustees are expected to:
- set the vision, mission, values and objectives of the charity.
- develop the strategic direction of the charity; establish and monitor policies necessary for the proper governance of the charity’s activities.
- ensure that Classics for All operates in accordance with its governing documents, and is accountable to its regulators, funders, members and beneficiaries.

- support the Chief Executive.
- maintain oversight of risks faced by the charity.
- have regard for how the charity contributes to public benefit.
- appoint from its members representatives to other committees.
- ensure suitable representation of the charity to other bodies.
- promote Classics for All to external organisations, acting as spokespeople as necessary, and to review and develop partnerships with other organisations.
- to regularly appraise their own work, delegating responsibility to committees where necessary.
Skills
- We need a well-rounded Board with a diverse skill set. No one individual is expected to have experience in everything, therefore we are always on the lookout for individuals who bring a range of experiences and differing perspectives to the group.
- We are additionally interested in those who can bring experience from the legal world, digital transformation and marketing and communications.
Diversity and inclusion
As a social mobility charity, being inclusive is a fundamental value of Classics for All. We welcome applications from all eligible people and are particularly keen to receive applications from those who are from communities that are less represented within charity governance and Classics education. We are particularly interested in receiving applications from those who attended a UK state-maintained school, regardless of if Classics was offered at their own school. You do not need to be a Classicist to join our Board – there will be no Latin tests!
Other requirements
There are just a few more requirements. We are seeking candidates who:
- will be aged 18+ on 1 September 2025.
- are allowed by law (both company law and charity law) to be a Trustee. This means that you must not be disqualified from being a Trustee or Director. Individuals are disqualified if:

We are recruiting a new Trustee!
Training Link, a small friendly charity based in Somers Town, near the British Library, is looking for a new trustee to join our Board.
Becoming a trustee for Training Link is an exciting and fulfilling role. The role of a trustee is to ensure that our charity fulfils its duty to its beneficiaries through contributing to the strategic development, effective governance and financial management of the organisation.
About Training Link
Training Link is a small and welcoming charity based in the St Pancras and Somers Town ward of the London Borough of Camden where 18% of residents have no qualifications. We provide a range of IT training, accredited vocational training, employability support, ESOL, one to one literacy support and advice and advocacy, mainly around benefits and immigration. The aim is to help people gain employment or to move on to further education, training or volunteering.
Training Link is a registered charity No 1051662 and a company limited by guarantee. It is a well-established organisation, set up forty years ago and with a good local reputation.
Our Team
There is a staff team of six, mainly working part time for one or two days per week. There are six regular volunteers and a further twelve or so volunteers providing ESOL (English as a second language) support. Training Link is run by a Management Committee consisting of the Trustees, Director and three Management Committee members.
The role of a Trustee
Training Link is governed by a Management Committee which currently consists of five Trustees and three others who support the Trustees. The management committee members make sure that the charity does what it was set up to do and that it is run effectively. The management committee meets approximately every two months. In between meetings there are smaller sub-groups which meet to address specific tasks such as finance and fundraising.
The trustees are legally responsible for overall management and decision-making and must act with integrity, openness and honesty. They need to be willing to give their time to take an active part in running Training Link and they must be committed to Training Link’s diversity and inclusion policy and practice. All trustees are expected to attend at least 75% of Management Committee meetings per year.
Reimbursement of expenses
Trustees and Management Committee members can be reimbursed for expenses such as travel linked to Training Link activities but will not be paid simply for being a Trustee or for carrying out tasks for Training Link.
Becoming a Trustee
To apply, please e-mail us your CV and a short covering letter to Tanya Buynovskaya saying why you want to be a Training Link Trustee and what skills you can bring to our organisation.
The first step is an informal conversation with Training Link’s Director. You will be given an overview of our current work and will be given further information about our governance, policies and financial situation.
The second step is a formal interview with trustees which will take place in September. If selected, you will be invited to join our Management Committee and will receive a proper induction from both the Director and the Chair of the Board.
You will also be required to give your permission for us to apply for a DBS check for you and you must let us know if you joining us would involve any conflict of interest.
Rewards of Trusteeship
While being a trustee does involve time and commitment, the satisfaction and sense of achievement that you gain from the role more than makes up for this. We do make a real difference to people’s lives through improving their confidence and skills and providing the opportunity to get accredited qualifications. And of course, being a charity trustee can open the door to other opportunities.
How to Apply
To apply, please e-mail us your CV and a short covering letter saying why you want to be a Training Link Trustee and what skills you can bring to our organisation. The deadline for applications is Monday 11th August 2025.
