Role: Trustee

Location: Hybrid (meetings vary between online, central London and The Cricket Centre, Wallington, SM6 8JQ)

Salary: Voluntary (reasonable expenses will be covered)

About Us

London was burning in 1981. The Brixton Riots exposed the deep cracks in our communities, and from that moment of unrest, a spark of hope emerged. A young cricketer invited local kids to join him on the pitch instead of moving them aside. That simple act became the London Community Cricket Association — now The Change Foundation — a charity that uses sport to transform lives, create safe spaces, and empower young people to grow free from fear. Today, we continue that legacy through innovative, values-led programmes that challenge broken systems and build lasting impact.

The Role

We seek Trustees who are passionate, courageous, and empathetic, and who can bring insight, challenge, and guidance to help shape the next chapter of our work.  We are particularly keen to hear from people with expertise in:

• Governance & compliance
• Human resources & organisational development
• Lived experience similar to the young people we support

We are committed to diversifying our Board and welcome applications from people of all backgrounds. Training and support are available to anyone new to trustee roles.

Key Responsibilities:

As a Trustee, you will help ensure that The Change Foundation:

• Pursues its mission and long-term objectives.
• Defines goals and evaluates our performance.
• Protects and champions the charity’s values and reputation.
• Oversees administration, policies, and financial stability.
• Ensures compliance with charity law, company law, and other relevant regulations.

All Trustees also contribute to one of our subcommittees:

· Risk, Audit & Governance – safeguarding, compliance, financial oversight, and operational standards.

· Programmes & Impact – reviewing programme design, delivery, and evaluation of social impact.

· Fundraising, Marketing, & Communications – overseeing fundraising strategy, marketing, and communications.

Subcommittees meet four times a year, in advance of quarterly Board meetings.

By joining our Board, you will:

• Influence the direction of a bold, innovative charity.
• Work alongside passionate staff, inspirational young people, and committed Trustees.
• See first-hand the impact of your guidance and support.
• Expand your leadership skills and professional networks.
• Be part of a movement that redefines what sport can be: a place where every young person matters.
