Visionary chief executive officer volunteer roles
Are you ready to help shape the future of mental health support for racialised communities?
Mary Seacole House is Merseyside's leading wellbeing service for Black and racialised communities. For over 30 years, they've stood as a beacon of hope in Liverpool, offering advocacy, emotional support and wellbeing activities designed with the ethos of "same rights, different needs."
Now, as the charity enters a pivotal period of transformation, we're seeking a Treasurer to join the Board of Trustees and help steer the organisation towards change, growth and greater impact.
Location: Liverpool (Either mostly remote or hybrid meetings, open to a flexible approach)
Time commitment: Approx. 1 Board meeting per month, plus additional involvement during a period of change
Remuneration: Voluntary, with reasonable expenses covered
About Mary Seacole House
Originally founded to address the lack of understanding around Black mental health. Today, Mary Seacole House provides culturally appropriate advocacy, runs a multicultural wellbeing service and fights for the rights of racialised communities across Liverpool.
Under the leadership of an exceptional new CEO and working alongside a refreshed and reenergised Board, they're building strong foundations for the future - and we need your skills to achieve big, bold ambitions.
About the role
As Treasurer, you'll play a vital role as a Trustee and with delegated responsibility for ensuring financial stability and good governance. You'll:
- Oversee financial reporting and ensure clarity for all trustees.
- Support the CEO and Chair with budgeting, forecasting and financial compliance.
- Help shape financial policy and guide strategic decisions during a period of change.
This is genuinely unique and exciting opportunity to join the Board of a small, but mighty charity. It's a chance to roll your sleeves up and make a tangible difference, at a significant time of change.
About you
We're looking for someone who brings:
- Financial expertise (accounting qualification required; charity experience desirable).
- Leadership experience at Board or senior level.
- Commitment to anti-racism and an understanding of marginalised communities.
If you have lived experience of racism or migration, or deep knowledge of Liverpool's cultural context, we'd especially love to hear from you.
Why join now?
- Be part of a charity tackling racial injustice in mental health.
- Shape strategy and governance during a critical period of growth.
- Gain satisfaction and a sense of pride, working alongside passionate trustees and a visionary CEO with shared values.
To apply: Please send your CV and a short statement (around 300 words) on why this role matters to you to Amelia Lee at Charity People.
If you prefer an informal conversation about time commitment (or anything else) first, please connect with Amelia and we'll find a mutually convenient time to talk.
Deadline: 9am on Friday 13th February. However, please do get in touch ASAP if interested - we'll never close early, but it would be great to start conversations as soon as possible.
Interview dates to be confirmed soon.

Help shape the future of youth gaming and gambling-related harm prevention by becoming the Chair of Trustees of Ygam, an evidence-led charity.
About Ygam
Ygam is a national charity with a clear mission: to prevent children and young people from experiencing gaming and gambling harms through awareness raising, education and research. Our award-winning workshops are assured by City & Guilds and informed by psychologists, academics and health professionals alongside people with lived experience.
Founded in 2014, Ygam has evolved into the UK’s leading charity in this area, delivering impact-focused training and education across the UK to those in positions of influence over children and young people.
Over the past decade, Ygam has trained over 28,000 delegates and reached an estimated 4.3 million children and young people. With 95% of delegates recommending our training, we’re making real progress in safeguarding our digital generation.
The opportunity
We are in the third year of our “Safeguarding our Digital Generation” strategy, and we will begin the process to appoint our new Chief Executive later this year. As our current Chair comes to the end of their term this year, we are looking for a visionary leader to join our board and help shape the future of harm prevention.
This is a unique opportunity to lead the board at a critical time when digital safeguarding has never been more important.
We seek a Chair who will play a pivotal role in leading our Board and guiding the development of our new strategy in the years to come. This position requires an individual with a track record of board experience and strategic acumen to help drive Ygam’s ambitious growth plans.
Who we are looking for
We believe that diverse experiences and perspectives are crucial to effective governance. The digital challenges facing young people today are complex and interconnected, requiring a broad perspective that can view issues through multiple lenses.
We are looking for a Chair with a track record of board appointments who can guide strategic discussions, collaborate with our board, build relationships that are both supportive and challenging, and serve as an ambassador for Ygam.
This role requires someone who can balance strategic oversight with a desire to lead a best practice board to ensure Ygam continues to evolve and adapt to emerging challenges.
