Award-winning theatre company One Tenth Human is seeking people with a passion for developing children’s STEM potential to join our Board of Trustees. Could you help us succeed with our next adventures?
One Tenth Human is an award-winning theatre company based in Lancaster, led by Artistic Director Sarah Punshon. We are a registered charity (no. 1195497), on a mission to empower primary-age children with better stories about their own potential. We explode myths and expectations when it comes to science, technology, engineering, arts, and maths (“STEAM”) because too many children reach adulthood believing these subjects are not for “people like me”. We want to change this.
We create and tour interactive theatrical adventures nationally to arts venues, libraries, schools, and village halls. Since our formation in 2016, we have been commissioned and co-produced by Shoreditch Town Hall, Z-arts, China Plate, Polka Theatre, Tutti Frutti, Big Imaginations, ARC Stockton, The Dukes Lancaster, and Lancaster Arts. We reach nationally, but are deeply embedded in our local region, working closely with schools, community groups, charities, and higher education partners to incubate new work and give more children the chance to take part in our life-changing adventures.
Our current Board has expertise in the arts, business management, charities, and STEM public engagement. You can find out more about them here.
The Board meets for 90 minute meetings every quarter on Zoom, with occasional in-person Away Days.
Written information is sent out a week before each meeting, requiring careful reading and consideration. Trustees may take on additional tasks suitable to their area of expertise between meetings, but the role is fundamentally one of governance and strategic guidance.
We are currently recruiting for Board members with the following skills:
(A) Financial Management Trustee. We are seeking a Board member who would be able to support our financial management, working with the Treasurer (and our accountant) to oversee financial planning, processes, and compliance. Your experience might be an accountancy qualification, experience with charity financial management, experience in business, or similar. Your role would include joining our Budget Working Group, which meets quarterly, one to two weeks before each Board meeting.
(B) Board Members. More broadly, we are keen to recruit Board members who have any one (or more!) of the following areas of expertise:
-
○ Marketing/PR;
-
○ Fundraising / philanthropy;
-
○ Charity governance / legal;
-
○ IT;
-
○ Children aged 3-10 years - whether as a teacher, parent, carer, or volunteer;
-
○ Education, particularly primary education;
-
○ Science, technology, engineering or maths: this might mean in industry, in academia, in
museums, or another public engagement area. In addition, we expect all Board members to have:
-
○ Interest in our work
-
○ A commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion across all aspects of society
-
○ The equivalent of about 1 day per month to devote to us.
We would be particularly interested to talk to applicants who are based or have networks in the North-West, but this is not essential. Our meetings are via Zoom and current Trustees are based in Manchester, Leeds, York, and London.
Send us a written document, no more than one page / 500 words or a film/audio recording, no longer than 3 minutes. Tell us who you are, how your experience and expertise matches our criteria, and why you’re interested in being on our Board.
If you have particular access requirements not covered here, please get in touch. Or if you would like an informal chat about this opportunity with our Co-Chair, Dermot Daly, please contact us via our website to arrange this.

We are currently looking for TRUSTEES of all backgrounds who have a passion for helping to make a positive difference to the lives of adults who have been in care.
Who we are
The Rees Foundation is a national charity based in Worcestershire that seeks to support adults who have, at some stage in their lives, been in foster care or residential care. Our focus is on the reality of many people’s transitions from being in care and moving into adult life, and the ongoing impact that care experience can have on a person's ability to reach their full potential.
Rees is resolute that care shouldn’t stop at 18, 21, or 25 years, it’s lifelong, and someone should be there to care. We listen, offer practical and emotional help, and we develop projects that really make a positive difference.
The role
The role of a Trustee is to ensure that the charity fulfils its duty to its beneficiaries and delivers on its vision, mission and values. The Board of Trustees are jointly and individually responsible for the overall governance and strategic direction of the charity, its financial health, the probity of its activities, and developing the organisation’s aims, objectives and goals in accordance with the governing document, legal and regulatory guidelines.
Our Board currently comprises members with a variety of skills in social care, strategic planning, finance and business.
As we have recently extended our registration to operate in Scotland, we are particularly keen to strengthen Scottish representation on our Board. We would welcome applications from individuals who have:
- Experience or professional understanding of the Scottish charity governance framework and OSCR regulations.
- Knowledge of the Scottish care system, including transitions, aftercare, or leaving-care support in a Scottish context.
- Connections to communities or organisations across Scotland that can help us better serve care-experienced adults in the region.
We would especially welcome applications from people who have professional knowledge and/or experience in the following areas:
• Finance (management accounting)
• Digital systems
• Fundraising
• Lived experience of being in care
We are also keen to increase diversity within the Board. We particularly welcome those from an ethnic minority background, the LGBTIQA+ community, people with disabilities, and younger people, as these are currently under-represented on our Board.
Living in Scotland is an advantage, but not essential – we welcome applications from anyone who meets the requirements.
If you have not heard from us within four weeks of the closing date, unfortunately your application has not been successful on this occasion. We appreciate your interest and encourage you to apply for future opportunities.
Our aim is to help care leavers thrive. Our projects are available to anyone over 16 who has been in foster care or residential care as a child.

In many African communities, poverty and tradition force children into adult roles far too soon, becoming parents, spouses, or laborers as early as age 12. Education is often cut short, and support is limited.
That’s why we created the Pen Pal Program , a simple yet powerful way for caring individuals like you to uplift these children with letters of hope, encouragement, and guidance. Just 20–30 minutes a week or month can make a lasting difference.
Your letters can touch on education, health, culture, the environment, or simply send warm wishes for important moments like exams, birthdays, Christmas, or Eid.
We’ll carefully match you with a child based on your availability and interests, along with their age, gender, dream job, favorite color, pets, and hobbies. Right now, more than 5,000 children are waiting to connect.
Whether you’re a student, parent, retiree, or part of a group, your words can inspire a brighter future.
Be the reason a child keeps believing.
Join us today.
