We also offer a support service for adopted adults and birth families, and a specialised therapy service.
In 2024, we launched our not for profit fostering agency, Foster Care Matters. As a non profit provider, the service is committed to reinvesting resources to deliver high quality support and ongoing training for foster parents. More recently in 2026, we acquired 1st Affinity Fostering Service in Wrexham, securing a not-for-profit future for the agency in Wales.

We recognise that diverse leadership strengthens our governance, deepens our understanding of the communities we serve, and ensures our programmes remain relevant and impactful.

About The Outrunners
The Outrunners support young people to get outdoors, get moving, and build the futures they want - all through the power of running, movement and community. Our vision is a London where everyone is included and no one is left behind.
The young people we work with have incredible talent, creativity and energy - but they don’t get the opportunities they need because of deep structural disadvantages, whether that’s racism, sexism or financial inequality.
We harness the collective energy of the running world to change that: helping young people to access fun and accessible running sessions. We help to improve their physical and mental health, their confidence, and their teamwork skills. But that’s just the beginning. The Youth Practitioners who work with our young people are not just coaches but trusted mentors and role models, helping to keep them on the right path. And our Outrunners Youth Hub is not just a room for bag drop but a specially designed space for young people to hang out before a session, play games, read comics, eat healthy snacks, or try to beat us at table tennis! We also use our brand partnerships to provide work experience opportunities, giving young people that all-important foot in the door and setting them up for bright futures.
We also run two unique marathon and half-marathon training Academies - there is a Youth Academy for young people aged 16-21 as well as a Women’s Academy for ethnically diverse women. We bring people together who have never run long-distance before, help foster a supportive community crew, and give them the skills, kit, coaching and confidence to cross that finish line and realise that they can do whatever they set their minds to - and that running belongs to them, too.
Driven by young people themselves, we are building a community that moves together: removing barriers to participation in running and movement; building connections in London’s diverse neighbourhoods; creating pathways to help young people achieve their ambitions; and driving change to tackle disadvantage and make running truly inclusive. Last year, we supported over 1,150 young people across our programmes.
In the 8 years that The Outrunners has existed, we have rapidly caught the attention of the running world and have grown quickly, thanks to the impactful support of major brands, races, the wider running world and the philanthropic and community sectors. We now have significant partnerships with Nike, Moju and Precision Fuel & Hydration that are taking us to the next level.
We have an experienced team, a growing basis of dedicated supporters, connections in the running and sports world, and a strong income pipeline for 2026/27.

Trustees must be people with independent judgement, an ability to speak their mind, and a willingness to use their knowledge, experience and networks to support The Outrunners.
Although not essential, we are particularly interested in Trustees with either of the following skills and experience:
Experience navigating periods of rapid growth and scaling, including providing governance over the internal infrastructure required to do this sustainably, and managing the risks this entails.
Beyond this, the things we need from our Trustees are:
A passion for shaping a different future for young people and having a positive impact in local communities.
An understanding of the challenges facing young people in Hackney, and an insight into how The Outrunners Charity can best add value to supporting the future generations around us.

Good understanding of the responsibilities required of a Trustee.

We are not expecting applicants to have all of these qualities, and expect that the best candidates will come with some others. But we hope that our Trustees between them will be able to cover all of these key attributes and more.
Above all, you need to have genuine enthusiasm and a commitment to achieving the best outcomes for the young people we work with by supporting and guiding our Chief Executive and The Outrunners’ passionate and committed staff and volunteers in their mission to better the lives of marginalised young people in Hackney.

Receiving an in-depth induction and opportunities to attend a wide selection of events, with a focus on networking, sharing learning, and celebrating our community and organisational successes;

Moshun.Earth
We quantify companies' marine risk, mitigate exposure, and finance profitable ocean restoration.
Moshun.Earth is trying to solve a problem that doesn't really have a category yet: how do we make ocean restoration investable at scale?
The challenge is that we're not just building a product, but also the language, the narrative, and the market around it. There is no playbook, no proven messaging, no obvious growth strategy, and no "copy what the competition is doing." Which means we're very much figuring it out in real time, and it's as exciting as it is messy (nervous laugh from our CEO).
If you're someone who needs detailed instructions, this role probably isn't for you (please do not apply). However, if you're someone who sees an opportunity, runs with it, tests ideas, learns quickly and comes back saying "I tried this and here's what happened," keep reading :
The role
We're looking for a writer, not a content machine. A storyteller who gets excited by taking complicated ideas and making them feel human.
At Moshun, we spend a lot of time talking about marine biodiversity finance, ecosystem valuation, impact investing and ocean restoration. Most people's eyes glaze over after three words. Your job is to make sure they don't.
You'll help us build a voice that is intelligent without being academic, ambitious without being corporate, and optimistic without becoming fluffy.
What you'll own:
• LinkedIn content
• Newsletters
• Website copy
• Thought leadership articles
• Case studies
• Founder storytelling
• Interviewing team members and turning conversations into content
What we're looking for:
More than a CV, we're looking for evidence of a track record: a story you brought to life and resonated in places you never knew were possible, a community who grew around the voice you created, influential individuals who picked up on your content and amplified it because they felt seen through it. We will welcome someone who notices stories everywhere, asks good questions, who can sit through a technical discussion and leave with a compelling headline. You don't need to know everything about oceans, but to be curious enough to learn and confident enough to challenge the obvious.
What success looks like:
Bonus points if you've ever rewritten something and thought: "There has to be a better way to say this." That's exactly the mindset we're after.
Why join?
Because you'll help shape the narrative of an emerging industry while doing good for the ocean and the communities who depend on it. And because if we succeed, you'll be able to say you were there when it was still just an idea with a handful of people stubborn enough to believe it could work. We're also a fun bunch of people, and that's probably our biggest argument.

Screen Share is the leading refugee digital inclusion charity in the UK. Our mission is to ensure every refugee in the UK has a connected device and the skills to use it to achieve their goals.
We currently support 2000 clients a year with devices, internet connectivity and digital skills training and volunteering opportunities.
The organisation is entering a key period of growth. Having professionalised successfully in 2025, we are launching an ambitious 5-year strategy to significantly scale our programmes across the UK.
This represents a critical moment in our journey as a young organisation. As we deepen our impact and pursue financial sustainability, we are looking to onboard 3 new trustees to add significant governance experience in key areas.
Trustee: Charity Trading and Commercialisation
Our fundraising strategy prioritises corporate and trading income. That strategy is complemented by our trading income strategy, which seeks to invest in traded services which support our mission, including digital inclusion services, IT Repair, IT Leasing and IT Asset Disposal. We have good experience in these areas and are looking for a trustee to oversee and significantly contribute to decision-making regarding when and how to enter these markets. The postholder will ideally be a current or former leader of a social enterprise or charity that trades, who can provide the board with the expertise it needs to make informed decisions. This trustee will bring relevant insight on sustainable income diversification and fundraising strategy.
Trustee: Digital Governance
We handle sensitive client data, and act as a processor for sanitising donated devices. This creates significant cybersecurity, data protection responsibilities. We have a cybersecurity strategy, dedicated staff time and also receive pro-bono support to discharge those responsibilities effectively, but we need a trustee with expertise to provide genuine oversight in this area and represent the position at board level. Strong candidates will bring expertise in data governance, cybersecurity policy or digital risk management. We would particularly welcome candidates who bring expertise in digital inclusion alongside this.
Trustee: Safeguarding
As we scale up across the UK, we are making the intentional decision to deepen our relationship with our clients. We work with some of the most vulnerable people in the UK, so our board needs to be confident that we are providing proper oversight of how we keep them safe in the context of support. We are looking for a trustee with governance-level safeguarding experience who understands safeguarding frameworks and legislation, can scrutinise our policies and procedures, and hold our staff team to account in this area. This trustee will lead our Safeguarding sub-committee.
Key details
Roles available: Three trustee positions: Charity Trading and Commercialisation; Digital Governance; Safeguarding
Commitment: Approx 32 hours per year (see breakdown below)
Term: three years, renewable
Location: Online, with 1-2 in-person meetings in London per year
