Location: London with flexibility

Closing Date: 11 March 2026

Trees for Cities is an independent national charity that empowers people to plant and care for trees in towns and cities, targeting places where they have the greatest impact for people and nature. Through trees, we connect people to nature, enrich lives and create leafy, liveable places for today and future generations. In a world facing unprecedented threats from climate change, biodiversity loss and disconnection from nature, our work has never been more urgent.

Since 1993, Trees for Cities has engaged 260,000 people to plant and care for almost 2 million trees across 100 urban areas in the UK and overseas. We are proud to operate at the intersection of social and environmental justice, focusing on communities with the least access to green space and the benefits it brings. To deepen this work, we have developed a new five-year strategy (2025–2030) with the goal of creating a Movement for Urban Trees and Tree Equity. As we enter this ambitious new strategic phase, the new Chair will play a leading role in overseeing its successful embedding and impact.

This is a rare opportunity to lead the Board of a dynamic, growing charity at a pivotal moment. Our Trustees are recruited for their diverse skills and perspectives, and we are proud of our strong governance practices and healthy Board culture. Together, we provide constructive challenge and meaningful support to the executive team, guided by the organisational values that sit at the heart of how we work.

Siobhan O’Garro (Board Chair)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

About us

Our mission - We ignite and inspire the next generation, building resilience to tackle the UK’s most pressing issues.

Our vision - Every young person can be a voice for change in their community and the world.
Our philosophy - Each One Teach One.
Our values - Empower – Transform – Sustain.

We provide accredited transformational leadership programmes for young people from the global majority. We aim to increase educational attainment, build community resilience and develop empowered young leaders who go on to reach their full potential and often return to Voyage to inspire the next generation.

Our work and plans

Voyage has recently come through a very challenging two year period that has significantly impacted our ability to attract investment and grow and rebuild staff capacity. At the same time, the national rolling back of ESG, DEI and wider CSR agendas has reduced investment in the very communities and young people our work exists to support. Despite this, Voyage remains resilient and is committed to overcoming these challenges. We have developed a business-led approach that places our young people at the centre of reversing this trend demonstrating the essential role that diversity, youth leadership and social justice play in future-focused industries.

We support young people through accredited education offers leading to employment and industry accesswork and opportunities to highlight the voice of our young people. This pathway of empowerment can be seen in our longest-standing strand, rooted in our BTEC level II accredited Safer cities course designed to support young people who are at risk of being marginalized due to challenging behaviour, damaging relationships and poor engagement with school.

A major element of our renewed strategy is our focus on sustainability and climate justice. Our mission helps us connect our diversity agenda to these sectors that are currently under-represented yet abundant with opportunity. Voyage is therefore aligning youth leadership, diversity and green-skills development through:

·our new Young Leaders Course - Sustainable Cities, supporting young people to understand climate resilience, urban change and green career pathways

·our Horizons Youth Programme for the Environment (HyPE), equipping at-risk young people with employability skills, training and entry points into environmental and retrofit careers

Further plans include:

·developing and rolling out a third BTEC accredited course linked to the under-represented but opportunity-rich digital sector - the Smart Cities;

·completing our transition to Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) status to give us more flexible and agile income-generation options;

·growing Youth Voice as both an income-generating and influence-building strand, enabling young people to shape policy, practice and public discourse; and

·position Voyage as a London leader in youth justice, climate equity and youth-led social innovation, with a developing national profile

Our constitution

Trustees provide oversight and scrutiny of Voyage’s management, operations and strategic direction, ensuring compliance with the Charity Commission and alignment with our mission, vision and values.

We are looking for additional skills in:

·governance and board development

·commercial or business development

·strategic fundraising and income generation

The Board

Trustees are appointed by the Nominations Committee with representation from the Youth Advisory Board. We are currently seeking at least two or more new Trustees to strengthen our Board and equip us for the opportunities and challenges ahead, including organisational growth, transformation to CIO status, programme development and national positioning. We are looking for people to act as advocates for Voyage, committed to our vision and mission. Prior trustee experience is not essential but can be very helpful.

We particularly welcome applications from:

·younger trustees

·disabled people

·people with lived experience of social and educational disadvantage

As a Trustee, you will support good governance, ensure the organisation is sustainable, effective and always delivering our charitable purposes.

Job Description

The Board meets 4–6 times a year for up to two hours, with an additional annual Away Day. Meetings are held both virtually and in person. We use an online portal to share papers and reports.

Trustees are expected to:

·prepare for and attend meetings

·contribute actively to discussions

·attend up to two events per year

The time commitment is approximately one day per month on average, occasionally higher at key points in the year.

Each Trustee will hold a specific remit or portfolio area aligned to their expertise and will keep the Board informed about developments and opportunities within that area.

Remuneration

Trustee roles are unremunerated; however, reasonable expenses will be reimbursed. If finances present a barrier to participation, please discuss this with us.

Engagement

Trustees are committed to governing in a way that is compassionate, transparent and grounded in the lived realities of the young people and staff who deliver Voyage Youth’s mission, while maintaining appropriate boundaries between governance and operational delivery. The staff team is dynamic, hardworking and welcoming.

Working with our Board and CEO, you’ll bring experience, insight and strategic guidance to help develop our fundraising capacity in support of the strategic development of the charity.

Mavar’s Mission

Founded on the belief that everyone has the right to choose their own path in life, Mavar’s central mission is to empower individuals who choose to explore opportunities beyond the strictly orthodox community to fulfil personal goals.

Main Duties of the Fundraising Trustee:

• Contribute to the overall governance of the charity as a member of the Board of Trustees.

• Act as an ambassador for the charity, promoting its work and helping to raise its profile.
• Ensure compliance with fundraising regulation and best practice, as well as Mavar’s policies and procedures. You are expected to give at least one day per month to your role. Board meetings take place four times a year in London, with a mixture of online and in-person meetings and are complemented by occasional online or in-person feedback meetings with the CEO and the Treasurer.

• Strategic thinker, able to balance long-term planning with practical advice
• Strong communication and networking skills

Desirable

• Experience of charity fundraising
• Existing networks that could support the charity’s fundraising efforts

Next Steps and Timeline

If you are interested in this role, please contact the Chair of the Trustee Board to arrange an informal chat.

If you would like to make a formal application, please send a CV and cover letter outlining your qualifications, relevant expertise and interest in Mavar’s mission to the above. Please put your name and the role you are applying for in the subject line.

Context: Mavar’s Service Users

Some men and women who have grown up in the closed world of the Charedi community hold personal and religious values that are not in line with the rest of the community. Attempts to follow their own path often bring them into direct confrontation with family, friends and neighbours who regard expressions of individualism or self-determination as heresy. These individuals fear that the community will ostracise them, leaving them feeling trapped, isolated and helpless.

Some may simply wish to explore options for obtaining a general education or improving their access to employment opportunities whilst wishing to remain within the ultra-orthodox community; others may look to divest themselves of the strictures of ultra-orthodoxy and to lead a more mainstream lifestyle. They all typically lack the everyday life skills to cope with the challenges of the secular world, which appears to them as a confusing, frightening and alien planet. Any effort to integrate with the outside, secular world is hampered by limited English language skills, cultural disorientation, lack of basic education or qualifications and negligible skills for employment.

Based in Shoreditch, we empower young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to unlock their potential, build confidence, and develop essential life skills through nurturing mentorship, inspiring role models, and transformative opportunities.

We’re in the exciting early stages of building something bold, vibrant, and community‑powered — and we’re looking for a Head of Brand, Partnerships & Impact who wants to help shape how REMIX shows up in the world.

The Role

We are seeking a creative, strategic, and people‑centred Head of Brand, Partnerships & Impact to lead REMIX’s outward‑facing work. This is a dynamic, entrepreneurial role for someone who loves storytelling, relationship‑building, and amplifying a movement’s voice.

You will shape how REMIX communicates, grows, and builds influence — from brand identity and social media presence to partnerships, fundraising, and impact storytelling. Working closely with the CEO, COO, and Board, you’ll help position REMIX as a trusted, inspiring force for young Londoners.

Time commitment: 5–10 hours per week, including:

• Bi‑monthly Board meetings

• Working groups and leadership sessions

• Brand, partnerships, fundraising, and impact tasks, duties and responsibilities

Key Responsibilities

As Head of Brand, Partnerships & Impact, you will:

Brand & Communications

• Lead REMIX’s brand identity, tone of voice, and visual presence across all platforms.

• Oversee social media, storytelling, and content that reflects REMIX’s energy and values.

• Ensure all communications are youth‑friendly, empowering, and movement‑driven.

Partnerships & Fundraising

• Build relationships with community organisations, local businesses, funders, and supporters.

• Support the development of fundraising strategies, campaigns, and partnership opportunities.

• Represent REMIX externally with confidence, warmth, and credibility.

Impact & Visibility

• Help shape REMIX’s impact framework and communicate our outcomes clearly and creatively.

• Share stories of change that highlight the voices and experiences of young people.

• Amplify REMIX’s presence across London, ensuring we are seen, heard, and trusted.

This role blends creativity, strategy, communications, partnerships, and impact — perfect for someone who loves connecting people, telling powerful stories, and driving growth.

What We’re Looking For

You don’t need previous experience in all areas — we welcome people stepping into leadership for the first time. What matters most is your passion, creativity, and ability to bring people together.

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Passionate about social mobility, youth empowerment, and fairness.

• Creative, entrepreneurial, and excited by building something new.

• A strong communicator with excellent people skills.

• Confident working collaboratively with the CEO, Trustees, volunteers, and partners.

• Equally comfortable working independently and taking initiative.

• Organised, reliable, and committed to our mission.

• Compassionate, emotionally intelligent, and community‑minded.

Experience in communications, partnerships, fundraising, marketing, or brand development is beneficial — but not essential if you bring strong creative and relational skills.

Why Join REMIX?

• Play a central role in shaping the outward identity of a start‑up charity with huge potential.

• Help build a movement that champions equity, compassion, and opportunity.

• Influence how REMIX is seen, understood, and supported across London.

• Work with passionate Trustees and volunteers who care deeply about young people.

• Gain leadership experience in brand, partnerships, fundraising, and impact.

• Make a meaningful, lasting difference in the lives of young Londoners.
