At Stonewall, our vision is for a world where everyone, everywhere can be themselves. We work to ensure acceptance without exception, so that lesbian, gay, bi and trans (LGBT) people around the world can participate fully in society and enjoy lives free from discrimination. We work to do this in a way that is aligned to our values.
Stonewall has achieved many great things since we were founded in 1989, from securing legislation which allowed same-sex couples to marry, to the repeal of Section 28.
But today, over thirty years later, our work feels more vital than ever. Our research shows that life for many LGBT people is still tough - hate crime and discrimination remain commonplace at home, work, school, and in public. We also know that COVID-19 is having a particularly acute impact on LGBT people, many of whom have found themselves trapped in hostile home environments or cut off from support networks.
But there remains much to do and our Board is working to help steer the direction of Stonewall, ensure it is fit and able to meet new challenges including the current pandemic and support our new senior executive team as we build our new strategy.
Trustees
Unremunerated
We are seeking to appoint new Trustees who may have a background in a range of areas to support our work in the following areas; professional fundraising or campaigning; digital transformation; crisis communications or political management and human resource leadership. We also seek the lived experience of black people and people of colour; of trans and non-binary people; those living and working outside the capital and our straight allies.
Most important, the successful candidates will be able to embody and model Stonewall's values and behaviours - able to demonstrate understanding of both privilege and intersectionality and the challenges that face the identities and communities that Stonewall supports.
We are committed to ensuring we have a range of diverse experience on the Board. This enables us to benefit on the Board from the very diversity that we seek to achieve in society.

With over 30 million workers in the UK, speaking up or raising a concern in the workplace is crucially important to stop harm; to individuals, to organisations and to the wider public. Whistleblowing ultimately protects customers, staff, beneficiaries, and the organisation itself by identifying harm before it's too late.
Protect is the UK's whistleblowing charity and we are the leading experts in whistleblowing. We aim to stop harm by encouraging safe whistleblowing. We have advised around 45,000 people on our free, confidential advice line, trained thousands of managers, senior managers and board members and currently support hundreds of organisations to strengthen their internal whistleblowing or 'speak up' arrangements. We also campaign for better public policy and legal protection.

Protect - Speak up, stop harm
Meetings are usually held in London, currently via video conference
The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in increased demand for Protect's Advice service with 20% more cases in 2020 than 2019. Each year we support around 3,000 whistleblowers to raise concerns, and to understand their legal rights.
With long serving Trustees reaching the end of their terms, Protect is now seeking up to three Trustees who bring a strategic insight in one or more of the following areas:
• Experience of being a whistleblower with an interest in using that experience to support others
• Charity fundraising experience
• Experience of championing /developing a whistleblowing function within an organisation
