After six transformative years, our Chair is stepping down. This is your chance to lead a charity that's reached 2.5 million LGBTQ+ young people – and heard them say "I'm still alive because of you."
Full description:
It Gets Better UK is at an exciting moment. Over the past six years, we've grown from a grassroots initiative into a charity reaching millions of LGBTQ+ young people across the UK. Through digital storytelling, educational resources, and community engagement, we're combating isolation and discrimination – ensuring every young person knows their power and worthiness as individuals.
Now we're looking for our next Chair of Trustees to lead us into our next chapter.
What makes this role special?
This isn't just governance for governance's sake. The impact is immediate and profound. Young people tell us our content helped them through their darkest moments – some say we're the reason they're still alive. You'll work with a passionate board and our CEO/Founder Dr Alex Rhys OBE, whose vision, resilience and commitment to the mission has been extraordinary. The team – both volunteer and paid – is genuinely special.
The opportunity:
You'll provide strategic leadership at a pivotal time, helping us build on our momentum while navigating the challenges every growing charity faces. We need someone who can balance big vision with practical governance, understand charity finance and risk, and chair meetings that drive real decisions while creating space for genuine discussion.
What we're looking for:
Essential:
- Demonstrable commitment to LGBTQ+ equality and youth rights
- Proven governance experience, ideally as a trustee or board member
- Strong understanding of charity governance and trustee responsibilities
- Excellent chairing skills with ability to facilitate constructive discussions
- Strategic thinking balanced with practical implementation
- Strong interpersonal skills and emotional intelligence
- Commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion
Desirable:
- Experience in charity/voluntary sector, particularly youth or LGBTQ+ organisations
- Understanding of digital engagement and online community building
- Financial management and fundraising knowledge
- Networks within funding, policy, or LGBTQ+ advocacy circles
- Experience with organisational growth and transformation
- Knowledge of safeguarding frameworks
Why now matters:
LGBTQ+ young people face unprecedented challenges – rising hate crime, attacks on trans rights, mental health crises. Our work has never been more vital. The next Chair will help ensure we're here for every young person who needs us, with the governance, strategy, and sustainability to deliver real impact.
If you care about LGBTQ+ equality, have governance expertise to share, and want to make a genuine difference, we'd love to hear from you.
Time commitment: Approximately 6 hours per month | Term: 3 years (renewable) | Location: Remote (quarterly video meetings, occasional in-person) | Deadline: 10pm Sunday 1st February

Scope’s new strategy was approved by the Board in 2023 and focuses on achieving seismic change for and with disabled people and their families. We want to build on the impact we have achieved over the last few years. We want to go further in driving social change, achieving equality for all disabled people. Our work is underpinned by our commitment to diversity and inclusion in everything we do, and our values. We are pioneering, courageous, connected, fair and open.
About the Trustee opportunities:
Scope is seeking to strengthen the Trustee Board further and want to welcome 2 new Trustees with expertise in the following areas:
- A qualified accountant with audit/risk or governance experience
- Fundraising
Trustees act as ambassadors for the organisation, engaging with stakeholders such as donors, volunteers, and beneficiaries. They foster relationships, build networks, and advocate for the organisation’s mission, enhancing its visibility and impact.
The Trustees we appoint will work closely with other Trustees, the Chief Executive and the Executive Leadership Team. Together they will oversee the delivery of our ambitious new strategy. They must be committed to equality, and to involving disabled people in decision making.
