Communications volunteer volunteer volunteer roles
GMYN is seeking to recruit new trustees with the passion and drive to move the charity forward with our recently updated strategy.
Since 2007, we have supported over 15,000 young people across Greater Manchester who face significant challenges, including those with experience of the care system, young refugees, and those with social or mental health needs. We don’t just deliver programmes; we provide a "family" and a platform for young people to have their voices heard.
Following our 2025 Trustee Skills Audit, we are entering an exciting period of new opportunities and are looking for three new trustees to join our passionate board. We are looking for individuals who share our values of compassion, creativity, courage, learning and fun.
We are specifically seeking expertise/experience in the following high-priority areas:
- Finance & Audit Trustee: To provide scrutiny of financial information, budgeting, and support our long-term financial resilience.
- Fundraising & Income Generation Trustee: To help shape our fundraising strategy, focusing on corporate partnerships, grants, and traded income.
- Digital & Communications Trustee: To lead our digital strategy, helping us amplify our brand and marketing efforts.
- Young Trustees - Please see section below on “lived experience”.
However, you do not need to be an expert in these areas to apply. We welcome applications from anyone who shares our values. We believe that a diverse board with a wide range of perspectives is what makes us strong.
The Value of Lived Experience
GMYN aims to create an inclusive welcoming environment for young people and all those who work or volunteer at GMYN or wish to join #TeamGMYN.
Whilst our staff and board of trustees are diverse in many ways, we recognise we are not fully representative of the communities that we serve, and we want to change this. We especially encourage applications from the Global Majority, people from working-class backgrounds, and disabled or neurodiverse individuals.
At GMYN, we believe young people shouldn't just be part of our programmes—they should help lead them. We are looking for new Trustees help shape our future. We strongly encourage applications from:
- Young leaders (18+) who want to make a difference in Greater Manchester.
- Experts by experience: the unique insights you have from navigating the care system, living with a disability, or being a young person in Greater Manchester today. Your first-hand knowledge helps us make better, fairer decisions.
- People who currently use, or have previously been involved in, GMYN programmes including beneficaries, volunteers or GMYN alumni.
Your personal insight and "youth voice" are just as valuable to us as professional qualifications and experience. We want our board to reflect the diverse communities and the resilient young people we serve.
Why join #TeamGMYN?
Our current trustees choose to be part of GMYN because they want to:
- Make a meaningful difference for young people facing disadvantage.
- Gain a deeper sense of purpose by contributing to a cause rooted in compassion.
- Connect with diverse people and new perspectives within the community.
- Share their own knowledge to help more young people thrive.
The commitment
We expect trustees to try and attend all meetings. We have around 5 to 6 evening trustee meetings each year (on-line and face-to-face) plus attendance at the annual strategic planning day.
In addition to this trustees are encouraged to visit our projects and participate in focused working groups as and when needed.
Person Specification
Experience of youth work is not required to be a GMYN Trustee. Neither is previous experience as a trustee.
The main qualities that we are looking for are:
- A demonstrable passion for supporting young people so that they can build a positive future for themselves.
- Commitment to regularly attend and fully engage in board meetings and be pro-active in-between meetings.
- The ability to think at a strategic level and leave the day-to-day operation of the charity to the Senior Leadership Team.
- The ability to work collaboratively with other Trustees and senior level staff.
- Curiosity and the ability to ask challenging questions when required.
- Skills and experiences that are relevant to the high-priority areas as shown above.
Guidance for applicants
If having read this information you would like to apply, we would suggest you set up a short informal chat with our Chair, Liam McDaid Jones. He can provide you with a bit more background to GMYN; where we’ve come from, and where we are heading. He can also answer any other questions you may have about the trustee role.
