New Trustees will be confirmed at our Annual General Meeting on Saturday 24th October 2026
LGBT Foundation is governed by a board of trustees who also serve as directors of the company. Our various arrangements for governance are brought together in one place within our governance manual, which is reviewed on a bi-annual basis, and amended as and when applicable. This helps to ensure we remain responsible, robust and resilient.
The board of LGBT Foundation is the first and last decision-making mechanism of the charity and trustees also constitute the membership of the charity. The board has several mechanisms in place to consult with key stakeholders, (such as staff, volunteers and service users), to inform our work and decision-making.
All new trustees are required to undertake an induction programme, including the provision of an extensive induction pack, staff presentations, and peer mentoring as desired. Trustee training needs are assessed, and a programme of internal and external training arranged on an annual basis to meet these needs.
Trustees are not remunerated, but reasonable expenses to attend meetings can be claimed.
Trustees are ultimately accountable for the organisation and their governance responsibilities include:
Role Accountabilities
Trustees are expected to contribute around 8 hours per month, including:
Trustees need to allow enough time to prepare for meetings by reading the paperwork, and doing any other preparatory reading, research or thinking to fully engage and contribute to robust discussion and decision-making.
To support the work of our board, we have three committees. These are:
Fundraising & Marketing Committee – maintains an overview of strategic fundraising, marketing, and communications.
Finance, Audit, Risk & Governance Committee – maintains a scrutiny and review role to ensure effective financial, people and systems management and ensuring that effective governance structures are in place across the 6organisation.
People, Performance & Resources Committee – maintains an overview of project, people and programme performance, ensuring that (i) quality is maintained and/or increased; (ii) set targets are achieved; and (iii) ideas for innovation are explored.
Person Specification
We seek trustees who offer a blend of technical expertise, values-driven motivation, and community alignment.
Personal Attributes:
While the trustees are not the day-to-day executive team for LGBT Foundation, similar professional skills and experiences are required, such as finance, HR, communications, fundraising, representation and networking across the private, voluntary and public sectors.
To complement the existing skills and experience of the Board, we are particularly looking for applicants with experience in:
LGBT Foundation actively seeks to maintain a diverse board representative of the communities we serve. We are taking positive action to encourage applications from people of colour (PoC) and other racially minoritised communities, trans*, non-binary, younger (aged 30 and under) and/or older people (aged 50+), disabled people, and people with experience of navigating asylum or refugee systems, to improve the representation of colleagues from these communities on our board.
*Trans is an umbrella & inclusive term used to describe people whose gender identity differs from that which they were assigned at birth; including non-binary people, cross-dressers, and those who partially or incompletely identify with their sex assigned at birth.

Our work is informed by an Advisory Board of people with lived experience of seeking safety, who provide strategic input and feedback.
About the role
We're appointing more Trustees with lived experience of seeking asylum. You'll join as we begin a strategic review that will shape our priorities for the coming years - so your insight will help decide where a charity working on the front line of the hostile environment puts its energy next, and make sure those decisions reflect the realities and aspirations of the people we exist to serve.
As a member of the Board, you’ll be working to set Care4Calais' strategic direction, hold us to our governing documents and legal duties, and support and challenge the leadership team so the charity can grow and thrive.
You don't need previous governance experience. We will support you and give you what you need to do the role well.

Review what we're achieving and how effective our activities are
Stay alert to changes in our operating environment and ensure our purpose and activities remain relevant

Ensure income generation is on target, lawful, and doesn't expose us to undue risk
Ensure the effective and efficient administration of the organisation
Judgement and stewardship
Use your own judgement to make decisions that are honest, lawful and in Care4Calais' best interests
Avoid conflicts of interest or loyalty where you can; declare and record those you can't
Support and challenge the leadership team in exercising their delegated authority
Promote our aims and reputation through your skills, knowledge and contacts
Attend Board meetings prepared to contribute
Who we're looking for
Lived experience of seeking asylum
Willingness to understand and accept a trustee's legal duties, responsibilities and liabilities, and to act in the charity's best interests
Strong commitment to our cause, values and strategic objectives
A strategic, critical thinker who is comfortable asking questions, challenging assumptions and sharing views with respect and confidence
Ability to work as part of a team, understanding that trusteeship is collective
The time to do the role well - attending meetings and taking an active part in discussion
Support you'll get: structured onboarding, a buddy from the Board, and external mentoring through the Experts by Experience Employment Network.
Terms of service
The role is voluntary, with reasonable expenses reimbursed. Trustees are appointed for a 3 year term which is renewable. We expect trustees to attend all scheduled Board meetings, with reasonable allowances for extenuating circumstances.
As a small charity, there will be times we need you beyond Board meetings — scrutinising papers, advising on new initiatives, or lending expertise on a particular issue. Trustees are encouraged to visit our operations in the UK and northern France.
All appointments are subject to the standard requirement that candidates are not disqualified from acting as a charity trustee under the Charities Act; you'll be asked for the relevant declarations.
How to apply
Send a CV and a letter of interest (1–2 pages) setting out why you want the role and how you meet the person specification.
Skills and insight come from a wide range of life experiences, not only paid work - tell us about any experiences, learnings or perspectives you think would help you thrive here.
You will never be asked to describe your lived experience at any stage of this process unless you choose to.
Want an informal chat first? Contact Wilf Sullivan, Chair of the Board wilf [@] care4calais .org
Shortlisted candidates will be interviewed online after the closing date.
We can help with digital access or a quiet space for interviews. Tell us about any reasonable adjustments you need and we'll arrange them.
Equality and safeguarding
Care4Calais is an equal opportunities employer and an anti-racist organisation. We actively encourage applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities, people from refugee and migrant backgrounds, LGBTQ+ individuals, disabled candidates, and those with lived experience of the immigration system.

JUSTICE is seeking a new Treasurer and two new Board Members. Whilst it is essential that the Treasurer has a high level of financial literacy, it would be highly desirable for the other two new board members to bring credible, senior expertise in fundraising or communications. We are particularly interested in recruiting Board members with experience from outside the legal sector.
Our Treasurer should have specific and significant financial management and/or accountancy experience and will chair our Finance, Risk and Audit Committee. They will provide oversight and challenge in relation to our annual budget, our accounts, our audit, internal controls and risk management as well as provide strategic advice and assurance to the Board and the Executive Team.
JUSTICE’s Board Members are responsible for the overall governance, strategic direction and long-term sustainability of JUSTICE. Working collectively, they support the organisation in pursuing its charitable objectives, safeguarding its assets and reputation, fundraising and ensuring that it operates effectively and in compliance with all relevant laws, particularly legislation governing charities and companies.
Board Members of JUSTICE are expected to prepare for and attend four Board meetings per year, including a half day “away day”, and in addition to join Board Committees as appropriate which also meet four times per year. Board Members are also encouraged to attend two Council meetings per year, including an in person half-day conference.
If this sounds like something you would be good at and enjoy, please do apply.
