Build a Brotherhood. Shape a Legacy.
We're creating a brand new men's mental health and self improvement charity and we NEED YOU!
Are you ready to be a founding leader of a new movement?
MINDSET is not just another charity; it's a new kind of brotherhood. We're on a mission to empower men's mental health and wellbeing and we need a team of passionate, strategic leaders to guide us from the very beginning.
We are actively recruiting our inaugural Board of Trustees, including a Chair, Treasurer, Company Secretary, and Trustees. This is a unique opportunity to build a charity from the ground up and make a profound, lasting impact on men's lives across the country.
This isn't just a volunteer role. You will be the architects of our mission, setting our strategic direction and ensuring we have the governance and resources to grow. Your leadership will be the foundation of everything we do. You will help us to deliver vital services, including:
-
Mental Health Support: Offering a range of services from one-to-one counselling and peer support groups to helplines and crisis support.
-
Self-Improvement Programmes: Empowering individuals with practical skills through workshops focused on resilience, stress management, and personal growth.
-
Community Engagement: Fostering a sense of belonging through local groups, activities, and outreach programmes that bring men together.
-
Youth Services: Providing vital support and education to young men through school-based initiatives and dedicated youth-focused programmes.
We're looking for individuals who believe in our mission and are ready to contribute their expertise, time, and passion to this project. As a founding Trustee, you will directly shape a movement that will change countless lives.
This is more than a board position. This is your chance to build a legacy. This is your opportunity to help us build a brotherhood that changes lives.
Are you ready to lead?
