NEF has been at the forefront of improving the use of energy in buildings since 1988. It aims to give people, organisations and governments the knowledge, support and inspiration they need to understand and improve the use of energy in buildings, in particular the UK’s housing stock. The NEF achieves this through:

Trustee Duties

The Charities Act 1993 defines charity trustees as those responsible under the charity's governing document for controlling the administration and management of the charity.

In addition to the above statutory duties, each Trustee should use any specific skills, knowledge or experience they have to help the Board of Trustees reach sound decisions. This may involve leading discussions, identifying key issues, providing advice and guidance on new initiatives, and evaluating or offering advice on other areas in which the trustee has particular expertise.

Each Trustee must have:

• A commitment to the mission of the NEF and experience in related sectors
• A willingness to meet the minimum time requirement

• An ability to think creatively
• A willingness to speak their mind
• An understanding and acceptance of the legal duties, responsibilities and liabilities of Trusteeship
• An ability to work effectively as a member of a team and to take decisions for the good of the NEF.
• Previous experience of being a Trustee is important for the majority of Board members, but we are also interested in recruiting new Trustees from among the beneficiary groups that we serve who wish to be trained in the role, want to commit to personal development and take on this role for the first time.  

The Board of Trustees collectively needs skills and experience in the following areas:

• Financial management, income generation and enterprise
• Public policy, public affairs and stakeholder engagement – particularly in the housing, energy, environmental sustainability and built environment sectors
• National and local voluntary sectors
• National and local government and statutory bodies
• Digital strategy

Overview:The Lewa Wildlife Conservancy

Established in 1995, the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy (Lewa, or the Conservancy) is an award-winning catalyst and model for community-centric conservation in northern Kenya. Lewa has been inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and features on the IUCN Green List of Excellence in protected area management. The Conservancy is the heart of wildlife conservation, sustainable development and responsible tourism in northern Kenya. Lewa’s successful working model has inspired replication by other conservation organizations in the region, notably through its close partner organization, the Northern Rangelands Trust, which now comprises 39 community conservancies.

Lewa is home to 14% of Kenya's rhino population, the world's largest resident population of the endangered Grevy's zebra, and many other species. The Conservancy also promotes landscape connectivity for wildlife, especially for more than 6,500 elephants that move from the high-altitude areas in the Mount Kenya Forest, through Lewa and the neighboring Ngare Ndare Forest Reserve, to habitats in Samburu and areas further north. 

Lewa’s success can be attributed to its close working partnership with neighboring communities through education, clean water projects, health clinics, microcredit programs, and sustainable agriculture work. Through a broad range of programs, the Conservancy benefits more than 60,000 people in surrounding communities who in turn have become Lewa’s first line of defense against poachers and criminal elements who seek to profit from illicit trade in rhino horn, ivory, and other wildlife products.
