Fundraising Trustee
Can you help shape CoppaFeel!’s next chapter?
CoppaFeel! has never stood still. From a bold idea around a kitchen table to one of the UK's most recognised health charities, we have continued to challenge convention, reach young people with a life saving message and build a community that believes breast cancer does not need to be diagnosed late.
We are now entering an exciting new chapter. After a period of exceptional growth, fundraising has become increasingly central to what is possible next - creating opportunities to broaden our reach, deepen our impact and invest in the future and so we are looking for a Fundraising Trustee to join our Board.
This is not simply about reviewing fundraising reports or providing technical expertise. It is an opportunity to bring strategic insight, constructive challenge and fresh thinking to help shape how CoppaFeel! builds sustainable income and achieves its ambitions over the next decade.
What we're looking for
We're particularly interested in people with experience of:
● Leading or significantly growing philanthropy, major giving or other high value fundraising
● Developing strategic corporate partnerships and long term supporter relationships
● Unlocking commercial or transformational income opportunities
● Building sustainable, diversified fundraising portfolios
● Leading fundraising through periods of organisational growth and change
● Advising Boards or Executive Teams on fundraising strategy, investment and risk
You don't need to have worked exclusively in philanthropy or corporate partnerships. What matters is evidence of strategic relationship building, senior influencing, commercial judgement and the ability to balance ambition with sustainable growth.
You'll be someone who:
● Thinks strategically rather than operationally
● Is comfortable interrogating data, evidence and return on investment
● Spots opportunities others might miss
● Enjoys healthy debate and constructive challenge
● Challenges with respect, humility and good judgement
● Is excited by ambitious organisations and wants to help shape what comes next
Experience working with or reaching young people is a bonus.
What it's like around the Board table
Our Board is lively, collaborative, respectful, energetic, curious and challenging. There is healthy debate, everyone has a voice and Trustees are encouraged to bring their expertise and challenge thinking when something could be better. The Board has a strong and open relationship with the Executive Team. Trustees provide strategic support and constructive challenge, while giving the team the space to lead and deliver.As CoppaFeel! grows, we're determined to protect what makes us special — our personality, authenticity, entrepreneurial spirit and the legacy of our founder Kris.
Time commitment
Trustees meet quarterly, usually for around 2.5 hours, with additional time for preparation and occasional advice or support between meetings.
Trustees are unremunerated, although reasonable travel expenses can be claimed.
The initial term is three years, with the possibility of reappointment.
This is a genuinely pivotal moment for CoppaFeel!. We're looking for someone who wants to do more than sit around a Board table, someone who wants to help shape the next
chapter of one of the UK's most distinctive and innovative health charities.
If you want to be part of what CoppaFeel! is building next, we'd love to hear from you.

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:
- Setting and maintaining vision, mission, and values

- Service on 2 standing committees (4-6 times per year, remotely, weeknight evenings)
- Participation in selected events, learning, or campaigns
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.

- Willingness to challenge and question
- Ability to work as an effective member of the board, of whose members are equally and jointly responsible for its decisions
- Clear understanding of the responsibilities of a trustee and sufficient time/commitment to fulfil the role
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:
- Fundraising
- Changemaking, marketing, and communications

Help a growing energy education charity and bring financial rigour to how we manage and grow our impact.
About us
Curieus Games CIC is a UK Community Interest Company, in the process of converting into a CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organisation). Our mission is to raise energy literacy through play. We make energy and climate education fun and accessible. Our vision is to inspire and attract young people to work in the energy sector.
Our flagship programme, Megawatt, consists of an energy-based educational card game supported by a series of workshops. The object of the programme is to engage students on energy and sustainability through gamification and ethical debates. We deliver the programme to primary and secondary schools across the UK, with 30 schools receiving the Megawatt programme in the 25/26 academic year. Schools receive a full day of workshops, the full suite of Megawatt resources, and training to support teachers to integrate Megawatt into curriculum teaching.
We offer our programme to schools for free. We work with energy developers and other organisations to fund our work in schools, delivering community engagement and social value on their behalf. We’ve built partnerships with several high profile energy developers in offshore wind, solar, batteries and nuclear, as well as winning grants from the National Lottery and the Royal Academy of Engineering. We already have funding secured to deliver to 50 schools in the upcoming academic year.
Megawatt has also been translated into French and Polish and is currently being rolled out to schools in France and Poland through partnerships with local institutes.
You can see more about the work we do here - www.megawatt.game
The next chapter
Curieus Games is converting from a Community Interest Company into a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). As a charity, we will have access to more sources of funding, giving us an opportunity to grow our impact by reaching more schools and developing more resources to teach about the energy transition.
To lead that next chapter, we're building a founding board of trustees to govern the charity into the next phase of our journey and build on the success we’ve had so far.
The role
As Treasurer, you'll be the person who makes sure the charity grows on solid financial footing — guiding our reporting, risk management and financial strategy as we scale from 30 schools to hundreds. You'll bring:
- Experience in a senior financial role in a charity, not-for-profit or business
- A strong understanding of charity financing, reporting and risk management
- Experience with grants, tenders or philanthropic fundraising is welcome, though not essential
Working arrangements
Six board meetings a year, mostly online with occasional in-person sessions — around 3-5 hours a month in total including meetings. It's a three-year term. The role is voluntary and unpaid, with reasonable expenses reimbursed.
More details are in the attached Trustee Information Pack.
