What We're Looking For

We aim for our Trustee Board as a group to have a mix of skills and backgrounds. Ultimately, we want to find people who are committed to ABandOfBrothers’s mission and who have the time to meaningfully engage at board level. Some additional things we're looking out for this time include:

  • Lived experience of the care system or experience of the care system from your working life
  • Lived experience of the criminal justice system (this might be your own experience, but could also be that of a partner or family member) or experience of the criminal justice system from your working life
  • Experience of HR and employment law
  • A background in successful charity fundraising or a network that you are happy to share to further our fundraising efforts

Time commitment

Our Board meets four-six times a year, for about three hours. Trustees also provide support and advice to the leadership team between meetings on subjects from fundraising to programmes. We are happy to pay travel and childcare expenses to enable Trustees to attend.

Trustees are normally appointed for four years. This term is sometimes then extended for a further four years to a maximum term of eight years.

Informal Chat

If you'd like an informal and private chat about being an ABandOfBrothers Trustee, and what it might involve, you're welcome to contact us to arrange this.

Applying to become a ABandOfBrothers Trustee

If you'd like to apply to be a ABandOfBrothers Trustee, we ask you to provide in one email or document:

  • A recent CV
  • A covering letter (a page or maximum two please) which includes answers to the following questions:
  • What will you bring to the role?
  • What does being a trustee of ABandOfBrothers mean to you?

Previous convictions

There's a small range of offences-  mainly fraud, sexual offences and terrorism-related offences – which can currently disqualify some people with unspent convictions from serving as a charity Trustee. Even in these cases, individuals can apply for a 'waiver' and this is often granted. If this is a matter of concern for you, please raise it- completely privately- with us via the email above. We’ll arrange an informal chat with one of our trustees to discuss.
