Be at the Heart of Change: Help Us Launch a Brighter, More Connected Tower Hamlets!
Are you passionate about bringing people together? Do you believe that no one in our community should have to feel lonely or isolated?
We are launching a brand-new, grassroots charity right here in Tower Hamlets, and we are looking for a small group of trusted, driven, and visionary volunteer Trustees to help us build it from the ground up. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to reduce loneliness, spark meaningful connections, and strengthen the bonds of our vibrant community through local activities, events, and programmes.
We are starting as a dedicated community project with big dreams to scale up—and we need your energy, skills, and commitment to make it happen.
The Opportunity
As a founding Trustee, you won’t just be sitting on a board; you will be a co-creator of hope. You will play a pivotal role in the official set-up, governance, and launch of this charity. Your strategic guidance, problem-solving abilities, and local passion will shape the foundation of everything we do.
This is a unique chance to use your professional or life experience to make a profound, tangible impact on your doorstep.
Who We Are Looking For
We need a small, dynamic team of individuals who are:
- Driven and Committed: Ready to roll up your sleeves and help guide a passionate start-up through its crucial launch phase.
- Trusted and Reliable: Able to provide sound governance and act as a proud ambassador for our mission.
- Community-Minded: Someone who knows and loves Tower Hamlets, or is deeply motivated to see its residents thrive.
- Diverse Thinkers: We welcome backgrounds in legal, finance, marketing, community organising, fundraising, or simply those with lived experience and a heart for connection.
Why Join Us?
- Create a Lasting Legacy: Help build an organisation that will support thousands of local people for years to come.
- Grow Your Skills: Gain valuable governance and leadership experience in a fast-paced, rewarding start-up environment.
- Connect with Purpose: Work alongside like-minded, inspiring changemakers who share your vision for a kinder world.
Time Commitment
As a start-up, we require a flexible commitment of approximately 4–6 hours per month for meetings and foundational tasks during the initial setup phase. Meetings will be held locally in Tower Hamlets and online.
Ready to Make a Difference?
Let’s build something beautiful together. If you have the drive to turn isolation into connection, we want to hear from you!
To apply or find out more, please send a short paragraph about yourself and why you’d love to join us.

As a small but fast-growing charity, we have a strong trustee board in place but are looking to bring in new trustees to help in our new phase of growth and ensure a sustainable future. We are therefore looking for trustees who want to get closely involved in setting the strategy, direction and priorities of Write Back as we transition from new ‘start-up’ into a more established charity. We are therefore looking for individuals with:
● A strong commitment to the work of Write Back and empowering young people.
● The passion and enthusiasm to throw themselves into a new and exciting charity for young people to help us in our next phase of growth.
● The ability and experience of working at a strategic level, providing expert oversight, advice and guidance.
● The skills and temperament to collaborate effectively in a small, growing organisation.
● A good understanding and acceptance of the legal duties, responsibilities and liabilities of charity trusteeship and an appreciation of the personal implications.
● A demonstrable commitment to equality and diversity.
We anticipate growing our trustee board significantly over the next 6-12 months. Our initial priority will be recruiting someone who is at least one of the following:
●experienced in financial processes and oversight.
● experienced in education, such as a qualified teacher.
● experienced in growing a small company or charity, in particular with legal, HR or other operational or governance matters.
● Under the age of 25 and who have lived experienced of the issues Write Back is trying to solve.
However, we are open to applications from a variety of backgrounds and would encourage you to get in touch if you are interested. We are intending to recruit 2 - 3 trustees in total.
Core requirements:
● This is a voluntary unpaid role, for which any reasonable expenses will be reimbursed.
● Your initial term will be for 2 years, with the possibility of renewal.
● Attendance at trustee meetings every two months (either online or in person, for roughly 90 minutes), as well as preparation for these meetings and any follow-up tasks. We estimate the time commitment to be no more than one day per month in total.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss this further, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
