Lived Experience Board Member (Advisory Role)
About the Role
At Living Reasons, we believe that real change comes from lived experience. To make sure everything we do is relevant, effective, and grounded in the realities of people’s lives, we are creating a Lived Experience Advisory Board.
This is a non-executive, advisory role. Board members do not carry trustee responsibilities but instead play a vital part in shaping and guiding the organisation. The insights and perspectives of our board members will directly inform the decisions of our trustees, helping us stay focused on what truly matters to the people we support.
How the Board Works
-
The board is made up of different lived experience groups, each focusing on particular areas.
-
Members can meet in their groups to share experiences, support one another, and identify key issues.
-
Groups can also set up their own sub-groups where needed.
-
Each group decides what information it wants to share with Living Reasons — members are always in control of their voice.
-
From time to time, the full board meets together to discuss wider themes, shared experiences, and how these can guide the direction of Living Reasons.
What You’ll Do
-
Share your lived experience in a safe, respectful group setting.
-
Take part in discussions, focus groups, and community support activities.
-
Contribute to shaping campaigns, policies, and services.
-
Review materials, research, and proposals and give feedback to help the organisation grow.
-
Be part of a supportive community that uses lived experience to drive meaningful change.
Who We’re Looking For
-
People with lived experience of fluctuating conditions, either:
-
through your own personal experience, or
-
as a supporter, caregiver, guardian, or family member.
-
We will keep these as two separate groups (personal experience, and supporter/caregiver) so that conversations can be open and relevant to each perspective.
Why Join?
-
Your experience will drive real change — in Living Reasons and in wider society.
-
You’ll be part of a community where lived experience is valued, respected, and heard.#
-
You’ll have a direct line to trustees and a say in how resources, campaigns, and priorities are shaped.

Learn to Love to Read offers one-to-one support to children who find learning to read challenging, in schools and online via Zoom.Our In-school volunteers are asked to commit 90 minutes, one afternoon a week, usually between 1-3 pm.
Our virtual volunteers are asked to commit 30-60 minutes, one afternoon a week, usually between 4-6 pm.
Full training and ongoing support is provided for all volunteers to provide them with a framework which supports children's reading skills, while also building their self-esteem, confidence and love of reading. Our volunteers support the same children each week, providing 20 minutes of one-to-one support for the whole academic year. This ensures a consistent and rewarding experience for both the volunteer and the children.
In Wandsworth, post-COVID, 20% of Key Stage 1 and 25% of Key Stage 2 children did not reach the expected standard of reading in summer 2025. Low literacy is linked to poverty and social exclusion, limiting options in life. Early literacy intervention is crucial to break this cycle. School closures due to COVID-19 have been tough for children from disadvantaged families.
Please note we only work with schools in the London borough of Wandsworth and all our volunteers need to live in or within easy reach of that borough.
In line with Safer Recruitment, all applicants are asked to complete an application form, provide references, take part in a face-to-face interview and ID check, and attend online training which includes safeguarding. All volunteers must have an enhanced DBS check which we arrange on your behalf. You will also be required to obtain checks from any country in which you've lived for more than three months from the age of 16 in line with Wandsworth's guidance. Once you have registered, we’ll send you a link to the application form.
Learn to Love to Read is committed to working without bias and offering equal opportunities for our volunteers. We are committed to valuing diversity and working inclusively across all our activities. Our aim is that everyone is treated with dignity and respect.
