- Monitor platform performance and troubleshoot issues, proactively identifying and resolving technical problems to ensure smooth operation.
- Ensure documentation supports compliance and best practices, including data protection, accessibility standards and organisational policies.

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.

Following the rotation and retirement of two of our existing board members, we are looking for new trustees to join us at P3 Charity.
If you know P3, you will know we are a charity with a huge sense of purpose. Every day our teams work alongside people who are having a hard time and help them build a life they can feel proud of. Somewhere to live. Someone to love. Something to do. It is simple and it is powerful and it changes lives.
We want people who feel drawn to that mission. Experienced trustees are very welcome, and so are people looking for their very first board role. What matters most is your curiosity, your commitment to good governance and your belief in people.
The commitment is very manageable and designed so people with busy lives and full-time jobs can take part. We hold five board meetings across the year, one away day, and our four subgroups meet online. You will be joining a warm, values led organisation with a strong executive team and a Board that takes its responsibilities seriously while keeping its feet firmly on the ground.
If you want to contribute to something that has real impact in communities across the country, we would love to hear from you.
