1. Chair’s welcome
WCT has been part of the community for more than 40 years. At the heart of what we do is something very simple: helping people to get where they need and want to go, and making it possible for people to remain independent, connected and involved in their community.
Our services are about much more than getting from A to B. They enable people to go shopping, enjoy days out, maintain friendships and social connections, and take part in everyday life. We also work with schools, charities and other community organisations across Wandsworth, helping them provide the transport their communities need.
It is a particularly exciting time to join us. Since our new Chief Executive joined WCT in May 2026, we are finalising our organisational strategy for the next three years – protecting the trusted services people already rely on while looking carefully at how WCT can become stronger, more sustainable and continue to respond to the changing needs of our community.
Our Trustees have an important part to play in that next chapter. We are looking to strengthen our Board with some particular skills and experience, but we are equally interested in the different perspectives people bring. You do not need to have been a Trustee before. We welcome people who share our commitment to inclusion, independence and community, who are curious about our work and who are willing to contribute their experience, ideas and time.
Being a Trustee is a responsibility, but it should also be rewarding and enjoyable. We are a friendly Board, working alongside a committed staff and volunteer team and an organisation with a long history of making a very practical difference to people’s lives.
I hope this pack gives you a sense of who we are, where we are going and what being part of WCT could look like. If what you read interests you, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Chair of the Board of Trustees
Wandsworth Community Transport
2. About Wandsworth Community Transport
Wandsworth Community Transport (WCT) has been helping people get out and about for more than 40 years.
Founded in 1982, we provide safe, accessible and affordable transport and opportunities for people to stay independent, connected and involved in community life across Wandsworth.
Today, our work includes:
· Shopmobility – Supporting people to access local shopping safely and independently, with transport and shopping support from our base at Sainsbury’s in Garratt Lane.
· Silver Day Trippers and Road Runners – Affordable outings giving people opportunities to visit new places, enjoy shared experiences and spend time with others.
· Community vehicle hire – Providing minibuses and transport to charities, community groups, sports clubs, places of worship and other local organisations.
· School and contracted transport – Delivering specialist transport, including work in partnership with the London Borough of Wandsworth and local schools.
· Driver training – Sharing our specialist knowledge through MiDAS training for drivers working within WCT and other organisations.
· WCT Community Transport Choir – Founded in May 2018 and made up of people who access our services alongside WCT volunteers. Our choir brings people together through music and performs at local events, day centres and community groups across Wandsworth.
Behind all of this is a committed team of staff, drivers, volunteers and Trustees, together with longstanding relationships across the borough.
Our work is about much more than transport. It is about enabling people to remain independent, build friendships, enjoy new experiences, play a role in their community and stay connected to the people and places that matter to them.
That sense of connection and participation is at the heart of WCT – and has been for more than four decades.
3. Why join our Board now?
WCT is entering an important and exciting new chapter.
Since Peter Edwards, our new Chief Executive, joined in May 2026 we have been finalising our organisational strategy for the next three years. Our focus is on protecting and strengthening the services our community already values, while building a resilient, sustainable and forward-looking organisation.
An important part of this will be diversifying our income and developing new collaborations and partnerships. We want to build on WCT’s strong local relationships, work more closely with other charities, community organisations, funders and businesses, and explore opportunities to work together where our combined experience can create greater impact.
Community participation and innovation will help shape WCT’s future. We want the people who access our services – alongside our volunteers, staff and wider community – to have a meaningful voice in what comes next. By listening, consulting and involving people from the earliest stages, we can understand changing needs, identify new opportunities and develop ideas with our community rather than simply for it.
Alongside protecting our core community transport services, we will actively encourage innovation – exploring new ideas, testing new approaches and learning from what works. This could mean using our transport expertise in new ways, developing new services, or working collaboratively with partners to respond to needs that no single organisation can address alone. Innovation at WCT will always be purposeful: rooted in evidence, shaped by participation and focused on creating greater impact for our community.
This makes it a particularly interesting time to become a Trustee.
New Trustees will be joining a well-established local charity, with strong community relationships, but at a point when there is also real opportunity to contribute to what comes next.
You will have the opportunity to bring your own knowledge, experience and perspective to our discussions, help shape our future direction and work alongside fellow Trustees, our Chief Executive and the wider WCT team as we take the organisation into its next chapter.
In 2027, WCT will celebrate its 45th anniversary – an important milestone for an organisation that has been part of local life since 1982. We want to enter that anniversary year proud of our history, open to new ideas, ambitious for our future and continuing to make a meaningful difference to the communities we are here to serve.
4. Our Board
Our Board of Trustees is responsible for the governance and strategic direction of Wandsworth Community Transport, working closely with our Chief Executive while maintaining the important distinction between governance and the day-to-day management of the charity.
Under the leadership of our experienced Chair, we are a friendly and engaged Board, bringing together a mix of professional expertise, community knowledge and lived experience. Our Trustees come from different backgrounds, and each brings something different to the table. We see that breadth of perspective as a real strength.
Trustees work collectively. No individual Trustee is expected to have all the answers. We ask questions, share knowledge, challenge constructively and support one another in making decisions in the best interests of WCT and the communities we serve.
Most matters are considered by the full Board, although we may establish smaller working groups for particular pieces of work when this is useful.
As WCT moves into its next chapter, we are also strengthening the way our Board works – including Board development, succession planning and more opportunities for Trustees to contribute to strategy.
Above all, we want our Board to be a place where different voices are heard and valued. We welcome challenge, curiosity and new ideas, and we want Trustees to feel able to contribute from their own experience while learning from others.
5. What makes a great WCT Trustee?
You do not need prior trustee experience to make a valuable contribution to the WCT board.
We are interested in people who care about our communities and believe in the importance of independence, inclusion and access to opportunities.
Great Trustees bring different things. You might bring professional expertise, knowledge of Wandsworth and its communities, insight from another sector, lived experience, or simply a perspective that is not currently represented around our Board table.
What matters to us is that you are willing to:
· Share knowledge, experience and ideas.
· Listen to and value different perspectives.
· Think strategically and look at the bigger picture.
· Ask questions and offer constructive challenge.
· Make decisions collectively and take shared responsibility for them.
· Champion inclusion, accessibility and community participation.
· Be curious, open to innovation and willing to learn.
· Act with integrity and always in the best interests of WCT and the communities we serve.
We particularly welcome people who can bring skills and experience to complement those already on our Board and we are committed to broadening the range of voices and perspectives involved in governance.
You will not be expected to arrive knowing everything about charity governance or community transport. We will support you to understand WCT, your responsibilities as a Trustee and the wider context in which we work.
What we are looking for most is people who want to contribute, participate and help us make good decisions together.
6. Trustee role profile
The role
As a Trustee of Wandsworth Community Transport, you will share responsibility with your fellow Trustees for the governance and strategic direction of the charity.
The Board works collectively to ensure that WCT remains true to its charitable purpose, is well governed and financially sustainable, manages its responsibilities and risks appropriately, and continues to deliver meaningful benefit for the people and communities we serve.
Our Chief Executive and staff team are responsible for the day-to-day running of WCT. The role of the Board is to provide strategic leadership, oversight, support and constructive challenge.
As a Trustee, you will:
· Help shape and oversee WCT’s strategic direction and future development
· Ensure that WCT remains focused on its charitable purpose and the needs of the communities it serves.
· Contribute actively to Board discussions and collective decision-making.
· Provide constructive support and challenge to the Chief Executive and senior team.
· Oversee WCT’s financial health and ensure its resources are used responsibly.
· Contribute to oversight of risk, safeguarding, legal and regulatory responsibilities.
· Support WCT’s commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility.
· Champion meaningful community participation and ensure that the voices and experiences of the people we serve inform our thinking.
· Help WCT develop strong relationships, collaborations and partnerships.
· Act as an ambassador for WCT and help raise awareness of our work.
· Contribute your own knowledge, skills, networks and experience while respecting the perspectives of others.
· Act with integrity, confidentiality and in the best interests of WCT.
Collective responsibility
Trustees have collective responsibility for the decisions made by the Board. We therefore expect Trustees to prepare for and participate in meetings, contribute thoughtfully to discussions and support agreed decisions.
You will never be expected to manage WCT’s services or take on responsibilities that properly belong to our Chief Executive and staff team.
We want our Trustees to have the space to think strategically: asking the right questions, considering opportunities and risks, listening to our communities and helping WCT make well-informed decisions about its future.
Term of office
Trustees are appointed for a three-year term and may serve for a maximum of nine years, subject to reappointment and WCT’s governing arrangements.
The role is voluntary and unpaid, with reasonable expenses reimbursed in accordance with policy.
7. Who we’re particularly looking for
We want our Board to bring together a strong mix of skills, experience, backgrounds and perspectives.
Following our recent Board skills audit, we have identified some areas where additional experience would particularly strengthen WCT as we move into our next chapter.
You do not need to have previous Trustee experience, and we don’t expect any one person to cover all of these areas. We would particularly love to hear from people with experience in one or more of the following:
Fundraising + income generation
As we diversify our income and develop new partnerships, we would welcome someone with experience of fundraising, income generation or business development.
This might include trusts and foundations, corporate partnerships, individual giving, commissioning, strategic partnerships or other approaches to developing sustainable income.
We are particularly interested in someone who can bring strategic thinking – helping us identify opportunities, build relationships and strengthen our approach to income diversification rather than being expected to personally fundraise for WCT.
Legal + compliance
We would welcome someone with legal, regulatory, governance or compliance experience who can help strengthen the Board’s collective understanding and oversight in these areas.
You might be a practising or former legal professional, work in compliance or regulation, or bring relevant experience from the charity, public or private sector.
Diversity, equity, inclusion + accessibility (DEIA)
Inclusion and accessibility are central to the communities we serve and to the organisation we want WCT to be.
We would welcome someone who can bring knowledge, experience or perspective that helps us continue developing our approach to DEIA across our governance, services, workforce, partnerships and community engagement.
Marketing, communications + social media
We would love to strengthen the Board with someone who understands how good communications can help a charity connect with its community, tell its story and build relationships.
We are particularly interested in experience of marketing, communications, digital engagement or social media – helping us think strategically about how WCT communicates its impact, reaches different audiences and grows its profile across Wandsworth and beyond.
Lived experience + community perspective
Professional expertise is only one form of expertise.
We particularly value lived experience and would welcome people who can bring perspectives shaped by their own life, their communities or their understanding of the people WCT serves.
This might include experience of disability or accessibility barriers, caring responsibilities, ageing, social isolation, community services or community transport – whether personally, through your family or the wider community.
We also want our Board to better reflect the diversity of Wandsworth and encourage applications from people whose voices and perspectives have traditionally been underrepresented in charity governance.
8. Meetings and time commitment
We want prospective Trustees to have a clear and realistic idea of the commitment involved.
Our Board meets six times a year, in person, at 6pm in central Wandsworth. We also hold our AGM in November, which Trustees are expected to attend.
Trustees receive papers in advance of each Board meeting and are expected to take the time to read these and come prepared to contribute to discussion and decision-making.
Most of our governance work is undertaken through the full Board. From time to time, we may establish a small working group for a particular piece of work, drawing on the skills, experience and interests of individual Trustees.
As we develop our new three-year strategy, we also intend to create opportunities for Trustees to come together for strategic planning and Board development outside our regular meeting cycle.
We recognise that our Trustees have work, family and other commitments. We don’t expect everyone to be available for everything, but we do ask Trustees to participate regularly, stay engaged with WCT between meetings where needed and contribute their time and expertise in a way that is manageable and meaningful.
9. Support and development
We want every Trustee to feel welcomed, supported and confident in their role.
You don’t need to arrive knowing everything about WCT, community transport or charity governance. New Trustees will receive an induction to help you understand the organisation, our services, your responsibilities as a Trustee and how our Board works.
You will be supported by our experienced Chair, Chief Executive and fellow Trustees, with plenty of opportunity to ask questions and build your knowledge as you settle into the role.
We also encourage Trustees to get to know WCT beyond the Board table. This might include visiting our services, meeting staff and volunteers, joining one of our outings or community activities, and spending time with the people who access our services. We believe this first-hand understanding is an important part of being an effective WCT Trustee.
As a Board, we are committed to continuing to learn and develop. Trustees will have opportunities to take part in relevant training and Board development, as well as strategic planning sessions as we shape and oversee WCT’s future.
Whether this would be your first Trustee role or you already have considerable Board experience, we want you to feel able to contribute, ask questions, continue learning and enjoy being part of WCT.
10. Our commitment to DEIA
Diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility are important to WCT – in the services we provide, the way we work and the way we govern our charity.
Our Board has adopted a DEIA Policy and Charter, alongside a three-year DEIA Strategy for 2026–2029 which will continue to develop as we learn, listen and strengthen our practice.
We want our Board to reflect a broad range of experiences, backgrounds and perspectives, and we particularly welcome applications from people in groups under-represented in charity governance.
We are committed to making our Trustee recruitment process as inclusive and accessible as possible. If there is anything we can do to make it easier for you to explore the opportunity, apply or participate in the recruitment process, please let us know.
For us, DEIA is not a finished piece of work. It is an ongoing commitment to listening, learning and ensuring that people have meaningful opportunities to participate in and help shape WCT.

Help shape the future of one of Gloucestershire’s leading charities supporting older people.
Lilian Faithfull Care is seeking four new Trustees to bring insight, challenge and strategic leadership to a values-led charity with people at its heart.
For more than 80 years, Lilian Faithfull Care has helped older people live well, with dignity, independence and a sense of belonging. Today, we support residents and day guests across our care homes, day services and specialist dementia services, supported by a dedicated team of colleagues and volunteers.
We are looking for four new Trustees to join our Board and help guide the charity through the next stage of its development. This is an opportunity to contribute to strategic decisions, support and challenge the Executive Team, strengthen governance and help ensure the charity remains sustainable, responsive and focused on the people we support.
We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in areas such as HR, digital transformation, marketing, fundraising, commercial leadership, charity governance, adult social care, legal matters or board-level strategy. Previous Trustee experience is welcome but not essential; what matters most is sound judgement, strategic thinking and a genuine commitment to improving later-life care.
Trustees usually give around 18 days per year, including Board meetings, committee work, strategy sessions, preparation and occasional visits to our services. Some activity can take place remotely, but Trustees should be able to attend meetings in Gloucestershire when required.
This is a rewarding opportunity to influence the future of care for older people, join a collaborative and values-driven Board, and make a lasting contribution to a charity that puts people before profit.
Please submit your CV and a supporting statement outlining your motivation for applying, the skills and experience you would bring to the Board, and any particular areas of interest. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to interview with representatives of the Board and Executive Team. Interviews are expected to take place on 18 and 19 November 2026, with successful candidates ideally joining the Board from January 2027.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

Are you ready to lead the UK’s pioneer in intergenerational arts into its most ambitious chapter yet?
"I will never look at a teenager the same again!" — Older participant
"I will see the older generation with a new perspective." — Student
At Magic Me, we bring generations together through extraordinary creative projects that dismantle ageism, build lasting community connections, and reduce loneliness across London. 92% of our participants report increased confidence to try new things, and 93% feel more connected to their community.
As we prepare to launch our bold 2027–2032 Strategy, we are looking for an inspiring, networked cultural leader to step into the role of Chair of the Board of Trustees (or join as part of a Co-Chair model) and help us tackle ageism and connect the generations.
Why this role stands out:
- You will take post in April 2027, right at the launch of our 2027–2032 strategy co-created with over 60 community stakeholders.
- You’ll help us create London’s first Intergenerational Borough in Tower Hamlets, forge exciting arts & cultural venue partnerships, and launch a 40th-anniversary physical and digital archive.
- You will lead a stable, healthy charity holding £150,000 in unrestricted reserves (50% above policy), anchored by Arts Council England NPO status and strong Trust & Foundation funding.
- You’ll act as a strategic sounding board and mentor to our dynamic Co-CEOs (Executive Director and Creative Director) who took the helm in late 2025.
- You'll steward our active, engaged board and be supported by four high functioning sub-committees (Creative Strategy, People, Fundraising & Marketing, Finance, Audit & Risk) so the Chair can stay focused on high-level strategy and advocacy.
Open to alternative leadership models!
Collaboration is at the heart of our values. We actively welcome applications for a Co-Chair structure or pairing with a Vice-Chair. Whether you are a senior arts leader seeking your first board leadership role or an experienced charity Chair looking to partner with a passionate creative practitioner, we’d love to explore how this could work for you.
Who we’re looking for:
- Arts & cultural leadership: Experience leading major programmes, projects, or organisations in the creative or cultural sector.
- Advocacy & door-opening: A natural networker who can connect Magic Me with high-profile cultural partners and funders.

Trustees, including a treasurer, are needed for a leading charity helping people with dissociative disorders.
CDS UK (Clinic for Dissociative Studies) is a specialist service offering assessments and treatment for people with dissociative disorders and an independent charitable provider to the NHS.
CDS provides diagnosis, outpatient treatment, clinical supervision, consultancy and training all over the UK. We also participate in research and education, contributing to what we hope is a greater understanding of dissociative disorders.
Dissociative disorders typically arise in response to extreme and repetitive trauma and/or abuse in early childhood. Dissociation can be a survival mechanism and adaptive response to overwhelming and traumatic experiences, enabling an individual to endure life events that no one person could be expected to manage without a severe impact on their wellbeing. Trustees are central to ensuring that CDS provides the best possible help for extremely vulnerable clients.
At CDS, we are committed to a culture of continuous improvement and organisational development, ensuring that our services, people, and governance evolve to meet the needs of those we support. Our work is grounded in our core values of Respect, Choice, Compassion, Openness and Working Together, which shape how we collaborate, make decisions, and deliver impact.
To build a well-balanced and rounded board CDS is looking for trustees, including a treasurer, with expertise in any of the following:
- Accountancy and/or auditing experience
- Financial management and strategy
- Clinical & clinical management experience
- Legal and governance
- Fundraising
- Marketing
- Organisational development
We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive Board that reflects the communities we serve. We welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds, particularly those who are currently underrepresented at trustee level, including people from diverse ethnic backgrounds, younger people, disabled people, LGBTQ+ individuals, and those with lived experience relevant to our work.
Closing date 9th October. Interviews will take place via MS Teams w/b 12th October.

St Basils is looking for a new Non-Exec Director / Trustee with Marketing & Communications experience to join our Board
About Us
St Basils works with young people aged 16-25 who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, to enable them to find and keep a home, grow their confidence, develop their skills, increase opportunities and ultimately prevent homelessness.
We help just over 4,000 young people each year across the West Midlands, with services in Birmingham, Coventry, Sandwell, Solihull, Warwickshire and Worcestershire. Our services range from providing supported accommodation to outreach, advice, support, employability and engagement services to help young people regain the stability they need to rebuild their lives, gain skills, confidence and employment and move on. The aim is to help them successfully break the ‘cycle of homelessness’ so that they can go on to experience a bright, fulfilling future and never return to a state where they are at risk of homelessness again.
About our Board

To navigate our challenging regulatory landscape, we need to be tightly governed. At the heart of this is a Board with the right knowledge, values, skills and diversity, all whilst working towards our vision that homelessness should not be part of growing up.

You will form part of St Basils’ governance framework, providing oversight of key business areas, such as business planning, safeguarding, risk, finance, health and safety, EDI and business development.
Our Board is made up of 14 members, 2 of which are designated for young people who have lived experience of homelessness and / or St Basils’ services.
St Basils has adopted the RACE Equality Code and is actively seeking applications from those from Black communities to ensure our Board is reflective of both the young people that we serve and our dedicated workforce.
About the Role
We are looking for a voluntary Director / Trustee with expertise in marketing, communications and/or public engagement to increase the reach of our campaigns. Our new Board member will need to strong networking and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to open doors and build relationships.

· Ensure marketing initiatives align with the organisation’s goals and regulatory requirements.
· Support St Basils’ PR and marketing initiatives by bringing knowledge of current marketing tools
· Help identify opportunities to increase the visibility and impact of St Basils’ campaigns.
· Leverage personal and professional networks to enhance the charity’s reach, partnerships and fundraising potential.
· Work closely with the Director of Income Generation & Value Capture to ensure St Basils’ marketing and communications strategies are being implemented effectively.
- Contribute to trustee discussions and decisions on broader charity strategy, risk management and financial oversight.
Our new Director / Trustee will sit on our Business Support & Audit Committee which oversees central functions, including Finance, HR, Fundraising and Marketing. This committee meets virtually, one a quarter.
Although the role is voluntary, reasonable expenses will be paid for costs incurred in undertaking the role.
About You
You will be an experienced professional in marketing, communications, PR or brand strategy, ideally with experience in the youth or homelessness sectors.
You will demonstrate sound judgement and be able to challenge confidently and constructively, although you do not need to have Board experience.
Understanding of governance and the responsibilities of a charity trustee is desirable, but training will be provided.
You will work within the principles of Equality, Diversity & Inclusion and understand the needs of the diverse young people we serve.
You will put the needs of young people first, be passionate about ending youth homelessness and share our mission, vision and principles.
Time Commitment
You will need to be able to attend the majority of Board and Committee meetings, one of each is held each quarter (8 meetings total per year). Each meeting will last around 2 hours and will normally be held late afternoon/early evening (usually 4pm – 6pm). Board meetings are held in person at St Basils’ Head Office in Birmingham, and Committee meetings are held virtually via Microsoft Teams. The dates for meetings are set by calendar year, towards the end of the previous year.
Meeting papers will be shared via an online portal one week in advance of the meeting to allow for sufficient preparation time.
A Board away day is held each year, usually October, and every other year this includes an overnight stay. This will be fully paid for by St Basils.
We encourage Board members to visit our accommodation services to deepen understanding of our work and support effective governance and decision-making. We would like all Board members to make 2 visits a year if possible.
All travel expenses incurred in attending Board meetings / conducting site visits will be reimbursed by St Basils.
What’s in it for you?
We offer a series of essential online training courses (for example GDPR, Cyber Security, EDI, Safeguarding, Risk Management) and the opportunity to do additional online or in-person training, such as Psychologically Informed Environment training. As part of our commitment to race equality, we provide mandatory Anti-Racism training for all staff and Board members.
You will be part of a knowledgeable and supportive Board and have the opportunity to work alongside young people with lived experience.
You will have the guidance of a knowledgeable Chair to support your development as a Director / Trustee, and you will have access to St Basils’ Senior Leadership Team to help you fulfil your role.
St Basils is a learning organisation and therefore we are able to support and develop Board members who are new to the role. In addition, St Basils has membership with the Board Development Agency, which provides our Board Members with access to webinars and development tools specific to housing sector Boards.
Being a Director / Trustee at St Basils is more than just attending meetings – if you would like to contribute to an organisation that has young people at its core, where you can visibly see the difference you are making, then this is the role for you.

We welcome early applications and will interview on a rolling basis.

About Rockinghorse
Rockinghorse was set up in 1967 by Dr Trevor Mann as an appeal to provide the first neonatal incubator outside London.
The appeal not only marked the beginning of our charity, but also the very early days of what later became the Trevor Mann Baby Unit. Dr Mann was intrinsic to paediatric care in Sussex as we know it today.
Roll forward to today, and we are proud to be the official fundraising arm of the Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital in Brighton along with the Trevor Mann Baby Unit.
We also support many other NHS hospital settings throughout Sussex, including Bluefin Ward at Worthing, Chalkhill and the Special Care Baby Unit at Haywards Heath, and Howard Ward at St Richard’s in Chichester.
Working in partnership with these services, we fund projects which focus on improving children’s physical and emotional well-being, while providing additional support services for parents and carers.
The projects we support fall into six key categories: toys, equipment, spaces, research, activities, and people.
Our Vision
Rockinghorse’s vision is a world where children are healthy and happy.
Our Mission
We fund and deliver transformative projects and services that enhance the care and support given by our incredible colleagues in the NHS.
We invest in state-of-the-art treatments, life-saving equipment, critical mental health support, additional people, ground-breaking research, and inspiring spaces that go above and beyond for children.
We work in partnership with the UHSussex NHS Trust and other charities to ensure every young patient and their family receive the best possible care when they are unwell.
Our Values
We strive to always operate in line with the following guiding values.
We care
We care about children, young people, their families, and all those that look after for them. We always act with kindness and compassion. We care about the NHS and all those who work there. We care about the world and want to make it a better place.
We’re passionate
We are passionate about making life better for children, young people, and their families. If there’s something we can do to make life better for patients and their families, we’ll go above and beyond to do it. We are passionate about our community and all those in it.
We’re honest
We are open and honest about our work, what we fund and how we raise funds. We work hard to ensure money goes to projects that genuinely make a difference. We involve our supporters in our projects and share our learning and experience wherever possible.
We’re supportive
We help wherever and however we can. We support children and their families; we support Health Care Professionals (HCP) and paediatric
services, and we support each other as team members. We work with and support other charities and organisations who are doing great things for children in Sussex.
We’re collaborative
We prioritise working with people and organisations wherever possible. We work with experts and others for the best possible outcome for sick
children and their families. We love a partnership that prioritises impact and avoids duplication.
How to apply
If you’d like to help shape the future of children’s healthcare across Sussex, we’d love to hear from you. Please email a covering letter outlining your skills and experience in relation to the Trustee Job Description to Dr Oli Rahman, our Chair of Trustees, by 30 September 2026.

For more than a century, the RAF Benevolent Fund has stood beside the RAF Family;
through war and peace, hardship and change. From the first day in uniform to the final
years of life, we have been a constant source of emotional, practical and financial support.
Today, our work reaches serving personnel, veterans, families and the bereaved in more
than 30 countries.
As the demands on the RAF Family grow in complexity and urgency, so too must the resilience
of the charity that serves them. Our ability to provide life-changing support, whether keeping a
family in their home, helping veterans navigate injury or isolation, or walking beside the
bereaved, relies on strong, stable and sustainable income streams. Therefore, we are seeking a
Trustee with significant fundraising expertise to help shape and strengthen our long-term
financial future. The successful candidate will join our diverse and highly skilled Board and
Fundraising, Communications and Engagement Committee to:
• play a key strategic role in supporting our fundraising vision and strategy
• provide strategic input into fundraising plans and campaigns
• support and advise on income generation, donor engagement and partnerships
The full role description can be found on our website here. The role is voluntary, however
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses are paid. We will provide the successful candidate with a
bespoke induction programme and relevant training / development.
Interested?
We would love to hear from you if you have the experience and passion we are seeking.
Please send an up-to-date CV and covering email / letter outlining your background, skills,
experience and interest in the role. Email address and contact details can be found on our website. If you have any questions about the role or would like to have an informal
discussion prior to applying, please contact Lisa (information on website).
We welcome applications from anyone who has the experience we are seeking, irrespective of
background, community, industry or protected characteristics. If you require any reasonable
adjustments as part of your application process, please let us know. You must be eligible to be
a charity trustee under UK law to be considered for this role. We operate safer selection
practices; this will involve the successful candidate being required to have a Disclosure and
Barring Service check.

have found our ideal candidate. No agencies please.

About The Pinnacle Centre
The Pinnacle Centre is a third space in Birmingham helping young adults grow holistically. We work across three domains: personal development, sports and wellbeing, and community and belonging.
Vision 2030 is where that work is heading. We're building a multi-purpose centre in Birmingham — sports facilities, co-working space, an auditorium and a café — designed as a home for young adults to train, work, learn and gather.
Role Summary
You own how money comes into Pinnacle. Grants, corporate sponsorship, community giving and donor relationships all sit with you, and your job is to make them add up to an income that is diversified enough to survive one of them failing — while laying the groundwork for the campaign that funds Vision 2030. Finance manages what we spend; you determine what there is to spend.
Key tasks
1. Strategy & pipeline
○ Own the annual fundraising plan with clear targets by income stream, agreed with the CFO.
○ Maintain a live pipeline of funders, sponsors and donors with deadlines, values and likelihood.
○ Balance the portfolio so that no single funder or channel is a point of failure.
○ Sequence effort towards the Vision 2030 capital requirement rather than only this year's costs.
2. Community & digital giving
○ Design and run giving campaigns, including seasonal appeals and sponsored challenges.
○ Own our giving platforms, donation pages and Gift Aid processing.
○ Build a regular giving programme and reduce lapse rates through timely, human communication.
○ Set the ask and the case; work with Marketing, who own the channels and audience.
3. Donor care, compliance & reporting
○ Ensure every donation is acknowledged promptly and that donors hear what their money changed.
○ Maintain an accurate donor record with consent and preferences, compliant with GDPR.
○ Ensure all fundraising meets Fundraising Regulator standards.
○ Report income against target to the CFO monthly, with an honest read on the pipeline.
What we're looking for
● A track record of raising money —community fundraising or High net worth.
● Excellent written English; you can make a case that persuades a stranger to fund it.
● Comfortable with targets, pipelines and being measured against them.
● You understand the difference between an ask and a relationship, and know when each is appropriate.
● Organised enough to run several income streams without dropping the reporting on any of them.
● Experience of a capital appeal or major campaign (desirable).
What we have to offer
● Real ownership of a function, not a task list — you will shape how it works, not just execute someone else's plan.
● A seat in a team building towards a 2030 horizon, with a clear line of sight to the leadership team.
● Access to our network of founders, professionals, entrepreneurs and investors through Pinnacle's events programme.
● Training, mentoring and the opportunity to build and lead a team of your own as the organisation grows.
● The reward of building something in your city that will outlast all of us.
Please note: this is currently a volunteer position. Reasonable expenses for travel, equipment and refreshments are reimbursed in line with our Expenses Policy. As Pinnacle grows and funding allows, we expect several senior roles to move to paid positions, and volunteers already in post will be considered first.
