iTraceiT
iTraceiT provides a blockchain and QR-code-based platform to document and verify the ethical and sustainable journey of products, from raw material to finished good. It addresses the lack of transparency in global supply chains, especially in the luxury sector, where companies struggle to substantiate their ESG claims and ensure ethical sourcing.
The lack of traceability leads to issues like unfair labor conditions, gender inequality, and greenwashing. iTraceiT tackles this by recording every transaction and transformation, empowering brands and governments to prove where materials come from and under what social and environmental conditions.
The solution enables fair compensation and recognition for artisanal miners and small producers, supports country-of-origin initiatives in places like Angola and South Africa, and generates verifiable due-diligence reports. By bridging technology and ethics, iTraceiT helps build a more transparent, equitable, and sustainable global trade ecosystem.

Your work will directly help us access the financial and reputational resources needed to expand our mission worldwide.
Key Responsibilities
- Research and shortlist funding opportunities in Europe and globally (EU Horizon programs, innovation grants, ESG or digital-tech funding, etc.).
- Identify and track award programs and competitions (e.g., sustainability, technology, luxury innovation, or social impact awards) where iTraceiT can gain visibility.
- Assist in drafting or preparing applications, coordinating deadlines, and compiling supporting materials.

Would you like to use your skills and experience in organisational finance and strategy to help some of the most vulnerable children in the UK? And to help a small user-led charity that has become reputationally successful and punches way above its weight to grow sustainably, yet at speed, into its next iteration and be able to serve more families?
Founded in June 2020 , The Belay Foundation was created to fill an urgent need for practical ‘in-home’ support to families whose children have previously been in local authority care. We were awarded charity registration in December 2020 and were soon working with families and Local Authorities across the UK. Our main areas of focus are: finding, training and supporting people who can offer trauma-responsive childcare and respite; disability benefits advice to families and young people; training professionals and parents to understand and respond to the impact of early-life trauma.
Currently, The Belay Foundation has an income of £120k and has supported over 400 families. Feedback from those families is very positive and reflects the change from crisis to coping. We are currently conducting a major review of our services and business model to enable us to relaunch services which can be scaled to the next level and respond to an ever-expanding need. This review is being led by our new CEO, Libby McVeigh, who looks forward to working with our new Treasurer to ensure that our financial systems and processes match our ambition.
Role Description
As a trustee you will:
- Meet regularly (mostly online and in the evening) with the other trustees to shape, drive and monitor the charity’s strategy
- Scrutinise the proper management and administration of the charity
- Champion the charity’s core values
- Help develop the financial sustainability of the charity
- Consider further service delivery in line with the charity’s aims
