Trustees - Voluntary Role
Bring your fundraising skills and transport knowledge to equip us for the future

Campaign for Better Transport is the national organisation advocating for better, greener, fairer transport options for everyone. This includes access to walking, cycling, public transport and shared mobility. Sustainable transport provides access to jobs, education, vital public services, shops, leisure and friends and family, while limiting negative impacts on air quality and the environment.

As a trustee, you’ll have an essential role in contributing towards the future direction of Campaign for Better Transport and making a real difference to our long-term resilience and our subsequent ability to create better public transport.

Commitment:

• Four Board meetings per year
• Optionally serve on Finance Sub-committee which meets virtually four times per year before the board meeting
• Optionally serve on appointments as required
• Occasional stakeholder and/or fundraising events and training.
