Billions of people globally, are unaware of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) let alone take any steps to create a more sustainable world for themselves and in the process for others in this complexly interconnected world.
This highlights the need for such initiatives to educate the British as well as global societies about the UN SDGs. Your contributions can educate and inspire millions to act on the SDGs and bring positive changes that will impact all of us in this complexly interconnected world.
Most importantly your efforts will ensure that the film festival and the UK's marginalised filmmakers (LGBTQI+, women, disabled and ethnic minorities) get even more visibility, thus furthering the motto of the festival to celebrate inclusion and diversity whilst inspiring the civic society to act on the Global Goals. It will also help partner organisations join forces and work in synergy to amplify the impact of the initiative through communal as well as individual efforts. Thus, benefitting more lives that we would have helped acting alone.

Thank you!
We are explicitly seeking a Trustee with lived experience that reflects the realities faced by the children, families and communities we serve. By lived experience, we mean someone who has personally navigated circumstances where opportunity was limited or unevenly distributed. This might include growing up in a low-income household, experiencing social or economic disadvantage, attending a school with few resources, or feeling that STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) was a world that did not feel open or accessible.
If you have built your path despite these kinds of barriers, forging a career, finding your voice, or creating opportunities that were not readily available, your insight would be invaluable. We are looking for someone who can bring a different perspective to our Board, ask questions others may not think to ask, and help us stay grounded in the experiences of the communities who need us most.
You do not need previous governance experience. What matters most is your insight, your judgement and your commitment to CSC’s mission. We will provide a full induction, training and ongoing support to make sure you feel confident in the role. As a Trustee, you will work collectively with the Board to ensure the charity is well-run, financially sound, and delivering meaningful public benefit.
