Our focus is to help shift mindsets around sustainability, consumption and top-down mass production. Through workshops, talks and podcasts, we encourage experimentation, social innovation and education, driving forward the idea that anyone can curate art, function and fashion with minimal planetary impact.

- Built a community of remakers and trash artists
We are keen to explore new activities, circularity at their core, that can maximise our impact in Oxford.

Trustee role description
About IMIX
Immigration is one of the key debates within UK politics and the media. IMIX is working to ensure that debate includes the voices of migrants and those who support them.
Our vision is for a society that welcomes people who move to the UK and understands the different journeys—through migration or displacement—that bring them here. A society that recognises how overlapping injustices shape those journeys, and where everyone can belong, be treated fairly, and live well together.
Our mission is to use our media and communications expertise to ensure the voices and stories of migrants and refugees help shape how migration is understood and discussed in the UK.
We do this by working with people who have lived experience of the immigration system, the organisations that support them, and the journalists who shape public opinion—always recognising the inequalities and barriers that affect whose voices are heard.
We have a new strategy to 2030, which sets out the role that we play in the migration sector, and our ambitions for the years ahead. These are to:
- 
	
ensure that more people with lived experience of migration have the skills and confidence to communicate effectively in the media.
 
- 
	
ensure that more organisations working to support migrants and refugees develop their media communication skills and capacity to tell the human story of migration.
 
- 
	
work with journalists and media teams to significantly increase the level of positive migrant and refugee stories reported in the UK media, designed to increase empathy and understanding of the issues experienced by migrants and refugees.
 
To strengthen our governance for this new strategic period, we’re recruiting four new Trustees.
Here’s what our current Trustees say about being part of IMIX:
“It has been a privilege to support IMiX as part of the board. I have enjoyed seeing the organisation progress. A small but hugely passionate and effective team doing work that is more important than ever. IMiX has proved itself invaluable to the sector and whoever joins the board next will have important work to do to continue to strengthen IMiX at this crucial time for the debate on immigrants and refugees. This role offers the opportunity to help spread a reasoned narrative on a hot topic political issue that badly needs balance.” Shazia Ejaz
“It’s truly been a privilege to serve on the Board and to be part of such an inspiring organisation. I’ve learned so much from this experience.” Zain Hafeez
“To an increasingly challenging public conversation about migration, IMiX brings calm expertise and evidence, positive messages and life-changing stories that change people's minds. It's a really important role to play, and the Board of Trustees make this possible by steering the strategy of the organisation and ensuring the staff and volunteers can deliver their work in a safe and supportive environment. Our Trustees are a strong and committed group of people and it's a pleasure and privilege to work with them.” Geraldine Blake (Chair)
The Duties of a Trustee
Trustees have overall control of a charity and are responsible for making sure it’s doing what it was set up to do, keeping the organisation on track and running effectively.
The IMIX Board meets four times a year to discuss with the Chief Executive and the team a wide range of issues. Our shared duties are to:

Finance and Resources

Ensure the strategy is resourced by overseeing IMIX’s financial plans and budgets.
 
- 
	
Support and participate in fundraising and income generation activities
 
- 
	
Review and approve IMIX’s annual financial statements.
 
IMIX Team

- 
	
Ensure that structures are in place that safeguard the well-being of IMIX’s team including volunteers and ambassadors.
 
- 
	
Ensure the effective and efficient administration of the organisation.
 
External
- 
	
Act as a champion of IMIX, promoting IMIX’s aims and reputation by applying your skills, expertise, knowledge and contacts whilst also ensuring that IMIX plays an appropriate role in the wider migration sector.
 
- 
	
Act as an ambassador for IMIX, attending events and relevant meetings.
 
-

General
- 
	
Contribute to regular reviews of IMIX’s own governance.

We’ll provide a full induction to the work of IMIX, and opportunities for you to understand what we do and how.
The Chair and Chief Executive will support you to settle in, and there is an annual one-to-one with the Chair for you to reflect on your learning and your experience of being on the Board.
We can also provide training and opportunities for you to develop your governance skills and particularly welcome people who may be new to governance roles.
What difference will you make?
IMIX is at the heart of the UK’s migration debate. By 2030, we want to see a shift—not just in media coverage, but in the national conversation. Migration will no longer be framed as a problem to be managed, but as part of who we are as a society. Public understanding will be more empathetic, informed and connected to lived experience. People who move will be seen as neighbours, colleagues, carers and community members—not strangers.
We believe this future is possible. It will be built through shared values, solidarity across communities, and powerful storytelling that reflects the full complexity of people’s lives. At its heart will be the principle that migration is not a threat but a vital part of a healthy, connected society.
At a time when the rise of the far right is fuelling hostility and fear around migration, our work has never been more urgent. IMIX stands with partners across the migration sector to counter divisive narratives and strengthen solidarity. As a Trustee, you will help us ensure that truth, empathy and shared humanity remain at the centre of the national conversation.
IMIX will continue to play its role—supporting the sector, amplifying migrant voices, and changing the story. As a Trustee of IMIX, you will help us to deliver this future.

We’re looking for our next Chair of the Finance Committee (FinCom) and Trustee.
London-based ¦ Voluntary ¦ ~1–2 days/month plus 10 scheduled meetings each year
At the London Early Years Foundation (LEYF), we’re proud to be the UK’s largest charitable childcare social enterprise. With 43 nurseries, 1,000+ staff and a £37m turnover, we’re on a mission to change the world one child at a time - especially in London’s most disadvantaged communities.
We’re looking for a senior finance leader to join our Board of Trustees as Chair of FinCom, with Treasurer responsibilities. This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who’s already served as a Trustee or Non-Executive Director and is ready to step into a leadership role with real influence.
What we’re looking for:
- A qualified accountant with senior-level finance experience (likely a current or former Finance Director)
 - Someone who brings rigour to audit, risk, and financial oversight, and can lead strategic conversations at Board level
 - A credible, thoughtful partner to our Finance Director - able to challenge, support, and collaborate on everything from acquisitions to reserves
 - A confident chair and facilitator, who creates a positive, inclusive space for discussion and decision-making
 - Someone with gravitas who’s interested in wider business and wants to advise (not run) ours. You understand the numbers, and bring commerciality and pragmatism
 - A calm, grounded presence with high emotional intelligence, curiosity, and a genuine passion for our mission
 
Why join us?
- Use your skills to make a real difference to children and families across London
 - Join a collaborative, professional, and down-to-earth Board and exec team
 - Be part of a warm, values-led organisation that welcomes your ideas and energy
 
Interested?
If you’re the kind of leader others rally behind - calm, credible, and committed to making a difference - this is your opportunity to step into a role that matters.
Further details about the role can be found in our online info pack. We’re reviewing applications and progressing people in August – so don’t wait too long to express your interest. We’re hoping you will join us for key business meetings in September as part of the transition from our current FinCom Chair.
We're changing the world one child at a time
