Volunteer volunteer roles
Do you want to use your skills and experience to help end the injustice of children living and working on the streets in some of the most dangerous cities of our world?
About the role:
Being a Toybox Trustee is an influential and valuable role. The Board of Trustees is responsible for the governance and strategic direction of the charity. In addition, you will oversee the financial, internal control, and risk management matters of the charity in line with good practice, our governing documents, and legal requirements. You will also play a key role in supporting Toybox’s Leadership Team to deliver the organisational strategy.
Time commitment – and our commitment to you
The Board meets four times a year, with two remote meetings and two in-person meetings. The remote meetings, scheduled in the afternoon, last 2.5 hours each. Of the two in-person meetings, one runs for three hours, while the December meeting is a full-day session.
This is an unpaid role, but expenses are paid for attendance at meetings and other Trustee activities.
What you’ll bring to this role:
· Be committed to Toybox, its objectives, values, and mission.
· Being able to embrace the organisation’s Christian faith.
· Credibility in your sphere of work and gravitas to help Toybox deliver sustainable progress towards a bold mission – ending the injustice of children living and working on the streets.
· Strong team and leadership skills, with the ability to bring people together.
· An ability to contribute significantly to the wider Board.
· Understanding of the role of a Trustee and how Trustees should interact with Toybox’s Leadership Team to best effect.
· Experience of high-level strategy development gained at a Board level or at a minimum at Leadership Team level.
· Experience in overseeing risk management and assurance.
Toybox is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expects all staff, trustees and volunteers to share this commitment.
Toybox values diversity and therefore we encourage and welcome applications from all suitably skilled candidates.
We will only use the information you provide to process your application. For more information about how we use your information, see our Privacy Policy on the Toybox website. In submitting an application for this role, we will deem that you have read and understood this Policy.
Please note Toybox is member of the Misconduct Disclosure Scheme (the Inter-Agency Scheme for the Disclosure of Safeguarding-related Misconduct in the Recruitment Process), submitting your application to Toybox means you are granting permission for Toybox to request information regarding Safeguarding-related issues.

Trauma Foundation South West (TFSW) help refugees and people seeking asylum who have suffered trauma, oppression and war, and those working with them. We are seeking a finance professional to join our Board.
What will you be doing?
Our Trustees work collaboratively to meet our legal responsibilities to govern the charity, including:
- Defining TFSW’s long-term direction and furthering its charitable purposes.
- Ensuring it is effectively and properly run with legal and other obligations met and being accountable to those with an interest or ‘stake’ in the charity.
We use board meetings to agree and oversee our strategic priorities, monitor risks, ensure sound financial management and confirm the charity’s assets are being used appropriately. All TFSW Trustees additionally bring individual skills and experience that are much valued.
As well as different skillsets, there are three defined roles on the board: Chair, Finance Lead and Fundraising Lead, and three Trustees chair the sub-committees (they may be the same people who undertake the defined roles).
As the Finance Lead, you will oversee the charity's finances to ensure regulatory and legal responsibilities are met and comply with charity accounting practice and returns.
This is a voluntary role, but we can pay Trustees’ expenses. The time commitment for all Trustees is approximately 22 hours per year (under 2 hours per month).
What are we looking for?
Essential requirements for all Trustees are:
- Enthusiasm for contributing to TFSW’s purpose and able to commit the required time.
- Able, or willing to learn, to carry out the responsibilities of being a Trustee.
- Commitment to TFSW’s values, clients and to working in a supportive and inclusive environment.
- A specific skillset that enhances the Board’s overall skills. In this case we are seeking Finance experience, ideally with financial or accountancy qualifications. We value and respect qualifications from outside the UK.
We have a committed and supportive board with a diverse skillset and are currently recruiting to meet areas where we need to enhance our overall skillset. In addition, we strive to be a board more representative of the diversity of the communities we serve and as such we warmly and actively welcome those with lived experience of the asylum or refugee resettlement process to apply. To be more representative of gender and ethnic diversity more broadly, we would also welcome applicants from the Global Majority and male applicants.
We are an extremely supportive team and, as you will see reflected in our person specification, your commitment and capability are more important than a long list of experiences and qualifications. You do not have to have experience of being on a board; we can support you with training in your responsibilities. If you have any learning differences or styles that will require adjustments during this learning process, we will be happy to discuss and support your needs.
Before you apply
The TrusteeWorks Team at Reach Volunteering are supporting Trauma Foundation South West with their Trustee recruitment. Applications should be made via TrusteeWorks in the first instance.
To apply please submit your CV/LinkedIn Profile, along with a covering letter stating why you wish to join TFSW, the skills and experience you will bring to the board and what you would hope to get out of the role. If you’d like to have an informal conversation before applying, we’d be happy to speak with you. We will also be holding an information session for potential candidates as a chance to hear more about TFSW and what it’s like to be on the board. Please let us know if you’d be interested in joining the session.
We improve mental health in people fleeing torture, oppression and war and those who work with them.

- The ability to research and formulate grant applications on behalf of the charity would be beneficial but is not essential.
Additional Information
- This is a volunteer role and attracts no remuneration, however reasonable expenses will be covered.
- Although this role does not require the successful candidate to directly work with young people it will require an enhanced PVG.
- The Board of Trustees meet approximately 4-5 times a year, usually for up to 2 hours at a time. Additional time outside of trustee meetings will likely be required to follow up on actions agreed by the Board. This role could be performed as a hybrid role as some meetings could be run online, however an in-person presence at the AGM each year is essential. The AGM is held where the charity operates, in Methven, Perthshire.
- Training both for this role, and about Scouts as an organisation and charity will be delivered online in an on-demand format. The successful candidate will be expected to complete this before taking up the role in September 2025. Further ongoing support and training is offered both online and in person to enable the successful candidate to enhance their skills, learn new skills as required and network with other volunteers across the wider organisation.
- This role offers the successful candidate the opportunity to develop their skills, make new friends and be involved in a charity that makes a positive, tangible difference to the lives of young people in our area.
