Welcome and thank you for your interest in becoming a Trustee of The Hardman Trust
- Are you keen to help people leaving prison and support them to work towards their goals?
- Do you believe that with the right support people can rebuild their lives, contribute to their communities, and break free from the cycle of reoffending?
- Do you share our conviction that no one should be defined solely by their past, and that everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive?
If so, you could be one of the people we are looking for to help The Hardman Trust move into the next
exciting chapter of our work.
Who are we?
The Hardman Trust was established in 1994, with the aim of helping people leaving prison after long
sentences. Our founder, Guy Armstrong, was a prison Chaplain. He saw the challenges facing this
group: homelessness, a lack of workplace skills, stigma, isolation, low confidence, and poverty. A fund
was set up to provide financial assistance to purchase tools and equipment, offering a helping hand
into employment. We now know from experience that this practical approach works. The people the
Hardman Trust has supported over three decades have used this financial support to gain
qualifications, start their own businesses, find employment and a new direction in life. We are now
extending our reach so more people can benefit from our support and sharing our evidence and
insights to help shape a more effective, humane criminal justice system. Achieving this means securing
the right funding, building strong partnerships, and ensuring our resources are used with maximum
efficiency and impact.
We are looking for several new Trustees to join the Hardman Trust Board. If you want to support our
mission, and you feel that you have the commitment and the life or professional experience for the
role, we would love to hear from you. In return, you will have the chance to make a meaningful
difference to those serving long sentences; and you will be part of a passionate and committed team
of staff, trustees and volunteers. We offer support to all new Trustees and if you haven’t been one
before, don’t worry - we will make sure you have access to any training and development you feel you
need.
It is a privilege to be part of the Hardman Trust’s work. It is an incredible organisation making real
change in the criminal justice sector. It is an exciting time to join the charity – we have recently
appointed a new CEO, Annette So and we are looking forward to developing our direction for the
future and fulfilling our vision where everyone can achieve their potential within and beyond prison.
The Trustee role
The Trustees work collectively as a Board. They have ultimate responsibility for governing the
Hardman Trust charity, directing its management, and ensuring it is well-run and operates according to
its purposes. They are legally responsible for the charity's finances, reputation, and compliance with
the law. Each Trustee brings their own lived experience and/or professional skills to support the charity
achieve its aims. Most Trustees also learn new skills during their time on the Board.
We want our Board to look like the world we serve and to have different voices within it. We know
that diverse groups of people make better decisions. We are keen to hear from people who can bring
perspectives or experiences often underrepresented in charity governance and how can help us
progress our vision.
Trustees are not usually involved in the day-to-day running of the charity. However, they work closely
with the Hardman Trust’s dedicated staff team, who are supported by a wider group of volunteers. The
Trustee role as in the majority of charities, is unpaid although legitimate expenses – travel costs for
example – can be claimed.
The Trustees’ key responsibilities
- Setting The Hardman Trust’s strategy and priorities.
- Representing the community, we serve and ensuring our decisions reflect the needs and experiences of those leaving prison.
- Supporting and constructively challenging our staff team to ensure the charity’s work, resources, and partnerships are well-managed and deliver maximum impact.
- Approving operational strategies and policies and monitoring their implementation.
- Approving The Hardman Trust’s financial plans and budgets and monitoring progress.
- Ensuring that key risks are being identified, monitored and controlled effectively.
- Promoting and safeguarding our values by acting with integrity, fairness, and commitment at all times.
- Applying their skills, expertise, knowledge and contacts to promote the charity’s work.
What we are looking for
No single Trustee will have everything the Hardman Trust needs. We want our Board to have the
collective experience needed to support and guide the charity. What matters most is your
commitment to our mission, your willingness to share your perspective and knowledge, and your
readiness to contribute to our Board’s decision-making. You do not have to have been a Trustee
before.
To complement the experience of our current Trustees, we are keen to hear from people with one or
more of the following:
- Lived experience of the criminal justice system, whether your own or that of a partner, family member, or close friend.
- Knowledge of Black, Asian, or minority ethnic communities, especially in relation to challenges faced after leaving prison.
- Professional experience in, or connected to, the criminal justice system.
- Expertise in HR, banking, and employment law to help us strengthen our policies and practices.
- Fundraising expertise to help grow the charity’s income and help us establish a Fundraising
- Advisory Board.
- Commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion and to improving outcomes for people serving long prison sentences.

Irise International is at a pivotal and exciting moment in our journey to achieve menstrual justice.
We are a small but globally respected charity based in Sheffield, working across the UK and East Africa to end menstrual injustice by shifting power to young activists and grassroots leaders. Our work is bold, inclusive, and grounded in lived experience. From launching youth-led policy tools in UK schools to co-hosting pan-African feminist gatherings, we amplify the voices of people who menstruate in spaces they’ve historically been excluded from.
We’ve just launched our 2025–2030 strategy and are entering a crucial phase of development. We’re building new income streams, deepening youth leadership, and evolving into a post-founder organisation under new leadership. We’re also piloting exciting collaborations—with councils, universities, and feminist businesses—while supporting our small team with the structure they need to thrive.
Our current Chair will step down in 2025, and we’re seeking someone to work alongside them and our CEO over the next 6–12 months to support a smooth and values-led transition.
This is a unique opportunity to step into a hands-on, relational governance role where your voice will help shape the next chapter of an ambitious and radically hopeful organisation.
We’re looking for someone who can:
-
Lead with empathy, integrity, and a commitment to equity
-
Champion inclusive, youth-led governance that centres marginalised voices
-
Act as a sounding board and strategic partner to the CEO
-
Facilitate a collaborative and engaged board culture
-
Support fundraising, advocacy, and strategic partnerships where appropriate
We particularly welcome interest from individuals with lived or professional experience in menstrual health, youth-led activism, gender equity, or anti-oppressive practice. We value non-traditional leadership journeys and want this role to be accessible and sustainable for the right person.
As Chair, your responsibilities will include:
-
Supporting the CEO between board meetings and leading their annual appraisal
-
Chairing quarterly, inclusive board meetings
-
Supporting board recruitment and mentoring
-
Supporting strategic reflection on partnerships, funding, and risk
-
Upholding Irise’s values and accountability to our menstrual justice framework
This voluntary role requires an average of 3–4 hours per month. We offer flexibility and support with access needs, caring responsibilities, or other adjustments. Travel expenses are reimbursed.

About It’s Time:
It’s Time is a charity created by and for young adults who have experienced the death of a parent. Founded by people who know this grief first-hand, the charity ensures no one aged 18–35 has to navigate such loss alone. Through peer-led support, events, free group therapy, and tailored resources, It’s Time offers connection and understanding during an often isolating time. The charity also partners with universities, workplaces, and families to promote better bereavement support - recognising that grief doesn’t follow a timeline, and the help offered to young adults shouldn’t either.
The charity was founded in 2021 and we now run local peer support groups throughout England, have a year long waiting list for our group therapy and supports around 500 people in the online community. We recognise that as we grow our needs and those of our community are changing and are looking for someone skilled in charity growth to steer us into the next phase of our development.

We are The Unseen Barriers Foundation - a new, disabled-led Scottish charity (Incorporated as CLG with charity status pending) tackling the invisible causes of exclusion. Shame, sensory overload, emotional exhaustion, disbelief. These are the things that stop people from showing up - to appointments, to events, to life.
The Foundation is built around two original lived experience contributions by our founder:
- The Unseen Barriers Framework - a landmark conceptual model naming the distress-based barriers that keep disabled people locked out of support.
- Cùran - a green plush dragon created as a visual anchor for distress, shutdown, and solidarity.
Both are licensed to the Foundation by the creator to ensure they serve a purpose-first, rights-based mission.
We are now looking for trustees to help shape this work from the ground up. This is a working board - not a figurehead role. Trustees will actively contribute to strategic direction, governance, and growth.
We are currently remote-first to ensure full accessibility, but will provide office space (Edinburgh/Glasgow area) once funded. You do not need to be based in either city.
Estimated time commitment:
Around 10 hours per month including preparation, meetings, and task-based input.
Board meetings held quarterly via MS Teams.
All access needs will be fully accommodated.
We are especially keen to hear from:
- Individuals with skills in marketing and funding
- Disabled people and unpaid carers
- People with lived experience of distress, neurodivergence, or poverty
If you believe in radical inclusion, and want to join something disruptive but grounded, get in touch.
We believe in finding the right people, not just filling seats. Informal conversations will take place on a rolling basis, and trustees will be appointed as and when suitable candidates are identified. Early expressions of interest are encouraged.
We exist to make the invisible visible. To name what others overlook. Ensuring disabled people are not just accommodated, but understood and supported

Please send your CV and cover letter outlining your relevant skills, experience and interest in joining the Board of Trustees.
