Volunteer community ambassador volunteer roles
Who we are:
Manchester is a young and vibrant city, with two in every five residents aged 25 or under. Yet, nearly half of our children (43.8%) are growing up in poverty.
Young Manchester is a youth-led partnership of more than 160 local non-profit organisations and community groups, supporting over 15,000 children and young people across the city every week. We resource, strengthen, and champion Manchester’s youth and play sector, centring young people’s voices, experiences, and leadership, and working to ensure that those most excluded have access to opportunities, support, and joy.
Our vision:
A Manchester where all children and young people can thrive and lead purposeful lives in a joyful, safe and healthy environment.
Young Manchester's Board of Trustees
Young Manchester has a diverse, active and engaged board. However, we are particularly looking for further support around financial oversight and guidance, to ensure effective management of Young Manchester’s resources in line with its charitable objectives.
Young Manchester is working to expand its strategic engagement with business and diversify its fundraising streams through corporate and enterprise opportunities.
We are keen to hear from individuals with background in finance, or experience in fundraising, grant management, or investment portfolio. They will support the CEOs and Finance & Operations Manager by reviewing budgets, management accounts, cash flow forecasts, and financial statements.
Key Responsibilities:
- Work with the other trustees to ensure Young Manchester is carrying out its purposes for the public benefit.
- Comply with Young Manchester’s governing document and the law.
- Act in Young Manchester’s best interests.
- Manage Young Manchester’s resources responsibly.
- Act with reasonable care and skill.
- Ensure Young Manchester is accountable by supporting and challenging its leadership.
- Work closely with Young Manchester’s leadership to execute our strategy in alignment with our vision, mission and values.
