FOUNDING TRUSTEES WANTED!

Help shape a brand‑new youth counselling & support service in Newham

6-10 hours per month

Something exciting is taking root in Newham — The NYCAS (Newham Youth Counselling and Advice Service), our temporary working name, is in development. We’re building a warm, welcoming, safe space where young people aged 11–25 can access FREE, confidential support: counselling, talking therapies, art therapies, information, advice, guidance, and much more.

We are now recruiting volunteers to join us as our Founding Board of Trustees — compassionate, committed people who want to help build something meaningful for young people in Newham.

If you believe every young person deserves somewhere safe to talk, heal, and be heard, this could be the perfect place to share your skills.

About the Role

As a Founding Trustee, you will play a vital role in shaping the vision, governance, and long‑term direction of NYCAS. You’ll help lay the foundations of a service that will support thousands of young people for years to come.

You will work closely with our Founder and early team to:

• Guide the set‑up of key policies, systems, and structures

• Champion youth wellbeing and ensure young people’s voices shape our work

• Support with fundraising, partnerships, and community connections

• Bring your insight, experience, and passion to help NYCAS grow with integrity and purpose

This is a hands‑on, meaningful trustee role where you’ll see your contribution directly influence the creation of a life‑changing service.

Who We’re Looking For

We welcome people from all backgrounds and lived experiences. You don’t need previous trustee experience — we will support you.

We are especially keen to hear from people who are:

• Passionate about youth mental health and wellbeing

• Committed to making Newham a better place for young people

• Thoughtful, reliable, and able to take a strategic view

• Comfortable contributing to decisions around governance, safeguarding, and charity development

• Collaborative, compassionate, and community‑minded

• Able to bring professional or lived experience that strengthens our Board

Experience in any of the following would be a real help and bonus (but not essential): Charity governance, youth work, mental health, safeguarding, finance, HR, legal, fundraising, community development, project management, or lived experience of the challenges young people face.

If you have passion, commitment, and a desire to help build something beautiful for young people — we want to hear from you.

What You’ll Gain

• The chance to shape a brand‑new youth support service from the ground up

• Experience as a charity trustee (full induction and support provided)

• New skills, confidence, and leadership experience

• A warm, supportive team

• The deep satisfaction of helping create a service that will help young people thrive

Ready to help something beautiful grow?

We’d love to hear from you.

How to Apply

To empower. To inspire. To transform.

We’re seeking committed new trustees to help guide a small but ambitious charity supporting children and young people with cerebral palsy, ensuring our funds deliver meaningful, life-changing impact.

Our Board is made up of a small, committed group of trustees who bring a mix of professional expertise and personal connection to our cause. Together, we oversee a grant-making charity that has a long heritage and a clear ambition: to increase our income and ensure we can support more children and young people with cerebral palsy in meaningful, practical ways.

Like many small charities, our challenge is balancing strong governance with growth. We are financially stable and well run, but we want to think more strategically about our future: how we prioritise funding, how we grow awareness and income, and how we ensure every grant we make delivers real, lasting benefit for families. The new trustee will play an active role in shaping these conversations and helping the Board move confidently from steady state to sustainable growth.

The role is hands-on and collaborative. Trustees are expected to attend four board meetings a year, contribute thoughtfully to discussion and decision-making, and engage between meetings when specific issues arise. Depending on interest and experience, the new trustee may also be invited to take a lead role in an area of work or join a small working group, for example around fundraising development, investment oversight, or grant assessment.

This is an opportunity to influence how limited charitable funds are used where they matter most. Trustees are directly involved in decisions that enable children to access therapy, specialist equipment, and support that may not otherwise be available. For someone who wants to make a tangible difference, this is a role where your contribution can be clearly seen in the lives of the children and families we support.

The Board values open discussion, shared responsibility, and a supportive culture, making this an especially rewarding role for someone who wants their time and judgement to have genuine impact.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Do you have an interest or experience in mental health care service design and delivery? Join us in supporting services in the Lambeth community as Chair of Mosaic Clubhouse!

This is a fantastic opportunity to use your senior leadership skills at a charity impacting the quality of life for so many in our community. You'll also work closely with our executive team while providing sound judgement for our Board.

Can you bring a great understanding of governance to our decision-making? If you are keen to act as an ambassador for a mental health charity, then we'd love to hear from you!

WHO IS MOSAIC CLUBHOUSE?

Mosaic Clubhouse is a unique, internationally renowned, mental health recovery community provider. We are right in the heart of Lambeth and wider south-east London, supporting the mental health system. We help over 400 Lambeth residents living with poor mental health each year through our work.

Mosaic people are not defined by their diagnosis but by their potential. They are our members, working side by side with staff to run every part of the Clubhouse. From reception to communications, café operations to fundraising, our model builds a sense of belonging.

WHAT MATTERS TO US

Our community reflects the heart of Brixton and Lambeth; diverse, creative, and resilient.

Mosaic runs on collaboration, not hierarchy. Our members both shape decisions and co-deliver our programmes and services. They also serve on our Board of Trustees, ensuring lived experience drives everything we do.

Our vision is for people, from all walks of life facing mental health challenges, to achieve their potential and feel respected.

IF YOU JOIN US…

You'll be joining us at an exciting time for Mosaic Clubhouse! We just celebrated our 30-year anniversary of proudly holding a positive reputation at the heart of our community.

As Chair, you'll lead on developing a new strategy to improve the mental wellbeing of our members, extending our reach to help more people.

Are you ready to guide us through this invigorating time in our history? This is a great opportunity to lead on our priorities over the coming years through a person-centred approach. 

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We are looking for someone who is motivated by our purpose and mission – to change the lives of people affected by poor mental health. You'll need to bring successful board leadership experience to ensure effective operation of our governance.

We are particularly looking for:

• effective decision-making in line with Charity Commission and International Clubhouse standards
• clear commitment to ensuring equity, diversity, and inclusion throughout our work.
• goals for financial sustainability and increased employment opportunities for our members

Please make sure you read our Candidate Information Pack before applying. It contains important details about the role and our organisation.

Spurgeons is one of the UK’s leading children’s charities, supporting vulnerable and disadvantaged children and their families for 150 years. Inspired by Christian faith and our founder Charles Spurgeon, we’re here for all families. Together, we create family hubs where we’re needed most, with counselling, early years and family support. We partner with local councils, churches and communities to care for every family, putting children and young people first in everything we do. Our services also include parenting support and resources, mental health support for children and young people, and working with families affected by domestic abuse and imprisonment.

These services are needed more than ever, and our current strategy focuses on growth, innovating in partnership with churches, developing online family hubs to expand our reach and ensuring fundraising is a strategic priority. We are ambitious and hopeful about how we can grow to make a significant impact on many more children’s lives in the future.

To support Board succession planning, we are seeking to appoint five new trustees with a range of skills and experience including:

· Fundraising and marketing

· Finance

London City Mission serves the church of London in sharing the love of God and the good news of Jesus Christ with the communities least likely to hear the Gospel.

One in three people don’t have a Christian friend to invite them to church, open a Bible with them, or tell them the good news of Jesus. We want to see that change. The poor areas of London are incredibly diverse, in fact London is the most ethnically diverse in the world, growing at over 100,000 people a year. The world has come to London – we long to see the Gospel taken to the world by working alongside churches to visit homes and go out into the streets of London with the good news of the Gospel.

Our monthly team gatherings are full of testimonies of how God is working amongst the communities least likely to hear the Gospel, and our deep conviction is that much more needs to be done – and can be done – at this urgent hour for London.

We are seeking to make up to five appointments; a mixture of Trustees (likely time commitment: 10-12 days a year) and Independent Sub-Committee Members (likely time commitment: 4 days a year). Individuals who bring expertise in one or more of the following areas:

Safeguarding – someone with safeguarding expertise who can provide strategic oversight, ensure robust policies and reporting procedures, and champion a culture of safety across the organisation.

HR - someone with HR expertise who can support organisational people practices, strengthen workforce policies, and provide strategic insight on recruitment, performance, and staff wellbeing.

Fundraising – someone with fundraising expertise who can guide income-generation strategy, strengthen donor relationships, and support LCM to diversify and grow its funding base.

Property – someone with professional property expertise who can advise on asset optimisation, and support strategic decisions regarding sales, leases, and maintenance.

Finance – most likely a qualified Accountant with strategic financial leadership skills and a passion to see resources deployed for Kingdom-purpose.

Through these roles the successful candidate will be able to make a difference in London for the salvation of souls and to the glory of God.

We appreciate the rich diversity of our Trustees, Sub-Committee Members and Staff and seek to create a culture where everyone develops and fulfils their potential. We recognise the immense value of different perspectives brought by those with varied backgrounds, characteristics and experiences. We particularly welcome applications from under-represented sections of the community (specifically in our context, individuals of Global Majority Heritage and those at an earlier stage of career).

In order to support greater diversity of experience and career stages, we encourage those earlier in their career to consider an Independent Sub-Committee Member role as a pathway to Trusteeship.

The Federation of Disability Sport Wales (known as Disability Sport Wales)is a dynamic, passionate and proactive organisation who are committed to ensuring that physical activity (including sport) is seen as a genuine choice for everyone in Wales. Our purpose is to ensure that disabled people are as likely to have a lifelong enjoyment of physical activity (including sport) as non-disabled people.

Our board is made up of volunteers who give their time, knowledge and diverse experience to drive Disability Sport Wales towards the successful attainment of our ambitions within the context of our values, and under Charities and Company Law.

It is essential to DSW that we have diversity of perspective to govern as effectively as possible, and to ensure that we continue to be a forward-thinking, sector leading organisation for the future.
