Our Trustees play an active role in guiding the organisation’s strategy.Committed and enthusiastic, a number of them have been with us since the organisation’s early days. Our Founding Chair is coming to the end of his tenure in July 2021. In addition to appointing a new Chair, we are currently seeking to strengthen and expand the Board. To this end, we are looking for at least two new Trustees motivated to affect change through both charitable and business working, as we begin to apply the lessons from our implementation of the Carers Worldwide model to providing training and consultancy services. We particularly welcome applicants who bring one or more of the following:

Carers Worldwide is the only organisation exclusively highlighting and tackling the issues facing unpaid family carers in the global South. This vulnerable and hidden group, caring for family members who are disabled, sick or elderly, are at high risk of social stigma, isolation, ill health and poverty. Carers Worldwide promotes their inclusion and give them a voice. We do this by partnering with local NGOs to facilitate carer-specific services: access to support groups, respite, healthcare and counselling, along with support for livelihood activities that can co-exist with caring. To promote long term change, we promote the work of carers associations and partner with governments, as well as national and international NGOs to bring about changes in policy and practice for carers. 

Established in 2012, we have transformed directly the lives of 73,000 carers and family members through our partnerships with local organisations in the countries where we work. In addition, legislative changes implemented as the result of our advocacy work are improving the lives of hundreds of thousands of carers.

We are now embarking on the next exciting stage of the Carers Worldwide journey as we seek to amplify our reach and diversify our ways of working, in order to reach an ambitious target of impacting the lives of 10 million carers by 2030 through a combination of policy change and direct work.

Our current Chair is Chris Underhill MBE. He came into the post as the organisation was established and so has worked as Founding Chair alongside Anil Patil, the founder of the organisation. In recent years the Board has been substantially reinforced, the organisation has grown, and the programme has been well established in India, Bangladesh and Nepal. A sister organisation, Carers Worldwide India, has been established.

A new 10-year vision for the organisation envisions the continuation of a significant programme working with carers and partner organisations in the three countries and beyond. The plan also outlines ambitious plans for expansion of our successful and sought after consulting skills with a variety of customers, many of whom are from the corporate sector as well as not-for-profit and government.

The search for a new Chair

Chris Underhill is coming to the end of his tenure in July 2021. As Founding Chair, he has brought to the role his skills in starting up and developing young organisations, in-depth knowledge of international development, a strong reputation across the third sector and access to extensive networks. The Board is now looking for an exceptional individual who can guide the organisation into the next phase of its development. Applications are welcome from individuals with experience in the not for profit, public or private sectors. Areas of expertise could include international development work, health and social care or social enterprise, but individuals from any background who can demonstrate the skills we are looking for will be considered.

Our Organisation

The Transforming Autism Project is a brand-new charity focusing on very early intervention for autistic children. Our goal is to truly transform lives through:

• family services in parent groups, in the home and online,
• a unique Autism Parenting Hub of comprehensive guidance, support & community
• and ultimately, through our life changing Mifne Treatment Centre (details here)

We also challenge conventional perceptions of autism and offer our own radical and empowering perspective. This can be seen in our , which has now been viewed by 100,000 people and received great acclaim from the autistic community.

What is distinctive about our approach is that it focuses of facilitating a strong relationship between child and parents, based on understanding and trust, as a primary means of reducing anxiety and giving the child a real feeling of being looked after, so that they can focus more of their energies on realising their potential, rather than managing anxiety.

We are currently at a very early stage in our development and are trying to raise the money to launch our first phase of family services over the coming months. To that end, we are looking to create a team of capable and dedicated volunteers to ensure our success.

VOLUNTEER MEMBER - INCOME GENERATION, MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS COMMITTEE

Title:Independent member of the Income Generation, Marketing and Communications Committee

Expected time commitment:  4 - 6 meetings per year with preparatory reading before and after meetings.

Function: Sub-committee of the Boards of Trustees

Line managed by: Chair of the Income Generation, Marketing and Communications Committee

ABOUT THE ROLE

The purpose of the Income Generation, Marketing & Communications Committee is to oversee and support the associated business and development plans on behalf of the Board of Trustees. The role will be to assist the Committee to monitor progress and performance of the Charity’s income generation, marketing and communications activities against CRW strategic objectives and ensure the stewardship and effective management of funds which have been donated, bequeathed and given to CRW for charitable purposes.

We are looking to recruit 3-4 new members from different backgrounds and expertise. This position is a volunteer position and is not remunerated, although reasonable expenses are reimbursed.

ABOUT YOU

We are looking for four exceptional people to join our committee who can help ensure that we can transform the outcomes for people affected by cancer in Wales. We would particularly welcome applications from those with proven experience in the following specialisms:

• Fundraising Management (working at a senior level across different disciplines)
• Fundraising Governance
• Charity Retail
• Digital Marketing
• Brand Development.

This is a challenging but very rewarding role and your contribution could assist Cancer Research Wales and its beneficiaries in a meaningful way.

ABOUT US - CANCER RESEARCH WALES

Every 30 minutes, someone in Wales is diagnosed with cancer and each week, 171 families in Wales lose a loved one to cancer. There are now over 130,000 people in Wales who are living with or have had cancer. This number would almost fill Cardiff’s Principality Stadium twice over. Here at Cancer Research Wales, we are funding some of the world’s leading cancer research. The discoveries our scientists are making in hospitals and universities across Wales are transforming how people with cancer are diagnosed and treated. This ground-breaking research is helping more people survive cancer than ever before.

We do not receive any government funding, so this innovative work is only made possible through our generous supporters and donors.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and committed clinician to support us to deliver exceptional specialist care and support for adults and children with a life-limiting illness and their families in Buckinghamshire and west Hertfordshire.

Rennie Grove Hospice Care is a charity providing care and support for patients diagnosed with cancer and other life-limiting illness and their families. Every year through our 24/7 Hospice at Home service, our Family Support services and the range of Day Services at Grove House we give thousands of patients in Herts and Bucks the choice to stay at home, surrounded by their families and friends.

We need to develop our role in the provision of palliative and end of life care to ensure everyone we care for receives the right support, when they need it, to make every moment together matter. In a challenging regulatory environment it is essential that our clinical services are of the best quality.

We have an ambition of working across our local health and social care system to ensure we support, and play our part in, commissioning for outcomes and that it is comprehensive and coordinated.  Access to palliative and end of life care needs to be available to people at the earliest opportunity so that they can benefit from living their life as fully and as well as they possibly can.

Rennie Grove is looking for a strategic thinker with a strong healthcare influencing background to help the Board of Trustees reach sound decisions relating to meeting the needs of everyone living with life-limiting illness in Herts and Bucks and to shape the service improvements that will be required to achieve this.

Applicants should have some senior management experience as well as extensive clinical experience in community care and have shown ability to enable change management. Ideally, we would want applicants to be active in clinical practice, although this is not essential.

All Trustees are expected to have skills and experience from their professional background and for Clinical Trustees the following are examples of some of the areas of expertise expected:

• Risk management
• Quality standards and requirements of the Care Quality Commission
• Safeguarding (adults and children)
• Data management
• Keen interest in professional education, research and development
• Developments within the field of palliative care.
