Join The Orchard Project as a Trustee to help grow thriving urban orchards, tackle climate change, boost biodiversity, and empower communities across the UK.

Applications close: 9 a.m. Tuesday 6th May 2025.

Location: Remote/London EC2A 3EQ

Time commitment: Half day per month

About The Orchard Project

The Orchard Project is the UK’s only national charity dedicated to creating, maintaining, and celebrating community orchards. Our vision is for everyone in urban areas to be within walking distance of a thriving orchard where people and nature can flourish together.

Once a significant part of the UK’s landscape, many orchards have been lost due to urban development. We are bringing them back — especially in areas with little green space, helping communities reconnect with nature, improve biodiversity, and tackle climate change. Through planting, training, and advocacy, we empower people to care for orchards long-term, ensuring they become lasting, productive spaces for food, wildlife, and well-being.

We focus on reaching those most in need, including people on low incomes, individuals with mental health challenges, and pupils in inner-city schools. Our work spans London, Swansea, Manchester, Glasgow, and Edinburgh, and we continue to grow.

At The Orchard Project, we are as committed to building a diverse, inclusive organisation as we are to creating resilient, biodiverse orchards. By working together, we can create greener, healthier, and more connected urban communities.

About the roles

As a trustee of The Orchard Project, you will play a vital role in shaping the strategic direction of the UK’s only national charity dedicated to community orchards. Your leadership and expertise will help us expand our impact, strengthen governance, and drive innovation in urban greening and community engagement.

Your contribution will directly support our mission to bring thriving community orchards to urban areas, tackle climate change, increase biodiversity, and improve well-being.

By guiding our strategy, expanding our reach, and ensuring financial resilience, you will help create a more sustainable, inclusive, and connected society — one orchard at a time.

Who we are looking for

We seek passionate, strategic, and forward-thinking individuals who can bring diverse perspectives and expertise to our board. You will be committed to environmental and social change, have strong strategic thinking, and be able to constructively challenge conventional ideas.

With a passion for equity, diversity, and inclusion, you will champion these values within our organisation. Strong networking and relationship-building skills, alongside the ability to provide governance oversight and contribute to effective decision-making, will be key to this role.

You may have connections in philanthropy, corporate partnerships, or funding sectors — or be experienced in business development, finance, fundraising, or innovation with an interest in environmental sustainability, biodiversity, or community engagement.

While prior leadership, governance, or advisory experience is welcomed, we also encourage first-time trustees to apply. We are especially keen to hear from individuals from racially diverse backgrounds, younger candidates and those looking for their first trustee role as we work to make our board more representative and inclusive.

We recognise the importance of supporting trustees and offer training, a buddy system, and financial recognition for your time.

Please click 'Apply via website’ to be redirected to the Peridot Partners website, where you can find full details of the candidate profile and register your interest to apply.

Applications for these roles close at 9 a.m. Tuesday 6th May 2025.

Offering your skills and time each month will give our fledgling organisation the boost it needs as we deliver our long-term strategy. Carers' Hub is an independent local charity based in Brixton. Our mission is to improve carers’ lives in Lambeth through quality services and community engagement. We achieve this through four core workstreams: raising awareness of carers, influencing local policy through community engagement activities, improving carer wellbeing and connecting carers to each other and to support and training opportunities through our services.

Caring for a loved one, family member, friend or neighbour, can have a significant impact on all aspects of a carer's own life. Our dedicated and passionate team work with carers to help overcome challenges around managing at home, finances, caring with confidence, education and employment, physical health and emotional wellbeing.

PCR at a glance 

In just a few short years we have achieved remarkable growth, expanding our income threefold from £1.5 million to £4.9 million in 2023-24 and have sustained this income in 2024-25. This growth reflects not only the urgency and importance of our mission but also the unwavering commitment of our team, trustees, and supporters who share our determination to fight prostate cancer and support the people it affects.

Guided by our vision to transform lives affected by prostate cancer, we remain committed to driving meaningful impact across our four core areas of focus:

Academic Research 

In 2024 we launched two new grant calls to tackle critical areas of unmet need: racial disparities in prostate cancer outcomes and advancements in treating bone metastases. These initiatives have continued our tradition of supporting cutting-edge research that transforms patient care and improves survival rates.

Translational Research  

Building on our success in bridging the gap between scientific discovery and real-world application, we have expanded our translational research portfolio to seven active projects. By fostering collaborations with biotech companies and research institutions, we will accelerate the development of groundbreaking diagnostics and treatments, ensuring they reach patients faster.

Influencing

Our influencing work has taken centre stage this year with the completion of our cost-benefit analysis, which has already generated significant interest. We have already launched this impactful analysis at an event at the House of Commons, at which we advocated for policy changes that prioritise early detection and equitable access to prostate cancer care. This initiative will help secure national commitment to advancing screening and diagnostic pathways.

We are now driving this campaign forward through lobbying and publicity as we aim to maximise on comms opportunities to raise the profile and awareness around the need for early detection.

Patient Projects

Empowering patients remains at the heart of everything we do. Following the success of our Infopool initiative, we will develop a follow-on project to enhance support for those living with prostate cancer. This new resource will build on the strengths of Infopool by providing even more tailored, accessible information to patients and their families with a focus on those most in need of better information. We have created truly groundbreaking projects that reach diverse communities, tackle deep-rooted challenges, and unlock the potential of scientists, advocates, and the communities we serve.

Prostate Cancer Research (“PCR”) is looking for up to three new Trustees to join our Board. We are specifically looking for people with the following experience:

 A Senior Comms professional. This trustee would potentially open doors with media outlets and help PCR to navigate and maximise the increased opportunities we have recently experienced. Examples include a long-standing campaign focused on screening for men that has been extensively featured in the Daily Mail. We now have further opportunities with potential TV ads and an awareness on the back of a prominent story in a popular soap.

A Senior Finance professional.  This trustee will have financial management experience (highly likely but not required to be a qualified accountant). They will bring financial expertise and experience to PCR’s activities and will be required to be part of our Finance Audit and Risk Committee.

A Translational Research/Data Analyst professional. This trustee will have translational research and/or Data Analyst expertise and will be capable of guiding strategic decisions and ensuring the organisation's research efforts are impactful and effective. This person would ideally have experience of spinning out a company or be well versed in the pharmaceutical industry.

A Senior HR professional. This trustee will have a track record of managing high performing teams in a growth environment. The Trustee will be a member of our People and Culture sub-committee, seeking to ensure staff are motivated by our vision & mission, enabling high retention and strong performance, alongside oversight of nominations, remuneration and policies. 

We would ideally find candidates that have some experience across two of the areas of experience.

We are committed to diversity, equality and inclusion as an organisation and seek to represent the patients and families we serve. To support this we would particularly welcome applications from women and members of the black community.
