Your input will be instrumental in establishing long-term sustainability, ensuring that our vulnerable families are supported over time. Families are often stretched to the limit with carer roles, supporting vulnerable children and young people without breaks or respite, by securing suitable funding you will be supporting them and the long-term sustainability of the organisation's efforts with the ultimate goal of profoundly improving the quality of life for our families.

We rely entirely on grants and donations. Every successful bid helps keep the doors open for families who often have nowhere else to turn.

Rydym yn grymuso pobl Cymru i gymryd rhan mewn heriau byd-eang, i gymryd camau ystyrlon ac i sbarduno newid cadarnhaol.

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.

Guide Shannon Trust’s next chapter – Become a trustee

Do you believe that everyone, no matter their circumstances, deserves the chance to learn to read and improve their numeracy skills?

Currently, 65% of people in prison can’t read, or struggle to. Even more struggle with numeracy.

At Shannon Trust, we believe everyone deserves the chance to learn. Over recent years, we’ve made significant progress – expanding our programmes, growing our team, and reaching more people than ever before. Now, we’re looking for new Trustees to join our board and help guide the next phase of our journey.

As a Trustee, you’ll work as part of a passionate board of 14 non-executive members, helping to shape our strategic direction and ensure strong governance. You’ll be involved in setting priorities, monitoring progress, overseeing finances, and ensuring we meet our legal and regulatory obligations. Trustees also play an important role in supporting and constructively challenging senior staff and acting as ambassadors for Shannon Trust.

This is a voluntary position, typically requiring around four to ten days per year. This is an unpaid role, though reasonable travel and other expenses are reimbursed.

You don’t need previous trustee experience — we’ll provide training and ongoing support to help you thrive in the role.

We’d particularly welcome applications from people with experience in:

• Governance, regulation, or legal practice
• Digital strategy
• Marketing, communications, and brand development
• Fundraising
• Board-level financial management
• HR and organisational development
• Education and learning practice
• Leadership across the public, private or charity sectors
• Government relations
• Equality, diversity, inclusion and belonging

We’re also keen to hear from people with lived experience relevant to our mission – for example, learning to read later in life or having personal experience of the criminal justice system.

What we offer:

• Full induction and ongoing training
• Regular support to help you get the most from your role
• Reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
• The opportunity to make a difference to people’s lives through supporting them to learn

If you share our dedication to supporting people with literacy, numeracy and personal transformation, we’d love to hear from you. Please see our recruitment pack for further details.

Vacancy closes 31 October 2025

Benefits: Induction training and ongoing training to support and develop you in your volunteer role; ongoing support and quarterly reviews to gain the most from your volunteering experience; flexible volunteering opportunities, subject to the requirements of your role; reasonable, out of pocket, volunteering expenses are reimbursed.

This is both an exciting and significant moment for the Trust. After nine years of dedicated service, our Treasurer Ross Clarke is stepping down.

As we look to the future, we are now seeking an experienced and dynamic Treasurer who can help champion the Dementia Trust as we embark on the next stage of our growth and development.

With 1 in 3 people likely to develop dementia, the need for bold, innovative approaches has never been greater. The Dementia Trust is committed to disrupting the narrative on dementia by funding projects and programmes that make a lasting difference for people living with dementia and their carers.

The Treasurer is a key member of our Board of Trustees, responsible for:
- Providing strategic oversight of the Trust’s financial affairs.
- Leading the Finance and Risk Committee.
- Ensuring resources are used effectively, within legal requirements and good practice.
- Playing a vital role in shaping our strategic direction.

We are seeking a qualified accountant or senior finance professional who combines technical expertise with a passion for social impact. This is a unique opportunity to use your skills and experience to drive innovation in dementia care and support, and to be part of a forward-looking charity undergoing meaningful redevelopment.
