The Iona Community is seeking to appoint up to three new Directors (Trustees) to join our Council from the 2026 AGM.
This is a significant and rewarding opportunity to contribute to the governance and strategic direction of an international, ecumenical Christian movement rooted in hope and lived in community.
About the role
Directors of the Iona Community are also charity Trustees. Together, Council members hold collective responsibility for the governance, strategy and overall stewardship of the Community, ensuring that our work is faithful to our vision, values and charitable purposes. This role is one of strategic oversight, not day-to-day operational management, which is carried out by employed staff.
Trustees are expected to act with care and diligence, to safeguard the ethos and reputation of the Iona Community, and to help ensure that we remain legally, financially and spiritually sustainable for the future.
Who we are looking for
We are keen to hear from people who are aligned with the vision, purpose and values of the Iona Community and who can contribute thoughtfully and constructively to Council discussions.
Applicants may be Members, Associate Members, Friends of the Iona Community, or people from beyond the membership.

Trustees are encouraged to bring both professional expertise and a willingness to engage deeply with the life, faith and common task of the Community.
We believe in the transformational power of community to change lives and that work for justice, peace and an equitable society is a matter of urgency

Founded in 1879, Together for Mental Wellbeing is the longest-established mental health charity in England. We work to ensure that everyone who experiences mental distress is valued, can live the life they choose and can determine their own future.
What we do
Together for Mental Wellbeing is a national charity that supports people who experience mental distress to lead fulfilling and independent lives.
We work with approximately 4,500 people every month via 70 projects throughout England, but we aspire to reach many more people through our recently refreshed five-year strategy.
Our services include:
- personalised support in the community
- accommodation based support
- advocacy services, including in secure hospitals
- criminal justice services, including in courts and probation services
What makes us stand out is that we put people at the centre of their own support – they set their own goals and are in control of how we work alongside them to achieve these. We value people as experts in what works best for them, and draw on their skills and strengths to build resilience and support networks so they can eventually manage without us
This means we value people as experts in what works best for them, and each individual we work with influences and shapes the support they and others receive from us. It also means we provide opportunities for people experiencing mental distress to work with Together to draw on their experiences to help us improve the quality and experience of the services that we provide.
We are committed to promoting service user leadership wherever possible; this is why we recently launched our Lived Experience Network, a free, members-based community.
Our values
We work together to facilitate choice through involvement, by doing what we say, never giving up on people, and looking to constantly improve how we work.
Our Board
We have an effective and collaborative Board of enthusiastic, friendly and committed trustees, who lead the development of Together and ensure that the charity exemplifies good practice.
The opportunity
We wish to add new trustees to our Board and have identified some recruitment priorities:
- We are seeking at least one individual with lived experience of mental distress who can draw on their unique knowledge and insights as to how mental distress impacts on people’s lives, and share their passion and enthusiasm to drive the aspirations of the organisation.
Our approach is for the individual to determine whether or not they have lived experience of mental distress. One person’s lived experience is no more or less important than another’s.
- We wish to increase the gender diversity of our leadership at Together; we currently have a high proportion of men.
Having completed a recent Board skills audit we also encourage applicants with experience of the following areas:
- Human resources and workforce planning
- Forensic psychiatry
- Public sector procurement/contracting
- Knowledge of health and wellbeing service providers from the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector
- Digital development and innovation
- Auditing and risk management
- Financial management and accounting
However, all applications are welcomed and will be considered. We also recognise that people are often juggling multiple commitments and can offer flexibility as to when you take up the role.
We offer a full induction, along with ongoing training and development opportunities. Although our trustees are unpaid volunteers all expenses related to the role will be paid in full.
Typically trustees will attend around 10 meetings per year, occasional virtual attendance is possible, and be invited to events and visits. With preparation time for meetings this can equate to a commitment of 1-2 days per month.
As a Trustee you will:
- Join a committed and friendly Board
- Help shape our strategic development as a charity
- Influence our innovative projects and initiatives, especially with service users
- Develop new skills and knowledge
- Be supported to attend relevant conferences and other training events
- Help improve the mental health and wellbeing of people and communities

Food Bank Aid is a dynamic and committed organisation, full of people who care deeply about the impact of poverty on the lives of Londoners.
• Poverty rates in London have been higher than in the rest of England for at least the last two decades
• Latest reports have also captured that London has the highest child poverty rate in England with 1 in 3 children (700,000) living in poverty.

Now is our time to act.
Food Bank Aid is a young charity with a clear sense of purpose of keeping the food banks fed, and we want to reach even more food banks in the years ahead.
We are appointing three new Trustees to strengthen our Board, broaden our expertise and support the setting and delivery of our strategy for the next phase of the charity’s development. These appointments reflect our ambition for Food Bank Aid’s future and our commitment to building a Board that reflects the diversity of the communities we serve.
The three profiles of expertise sought are:
1. A Chair (with previous leadership experience ideally in the not-for-profit sector)
2. A Trustee with income generation experience and expertise
3. A Trustee with Charity Governance experience
We value curiosity, integrity, thoughtful judgement and a genuine commitment and passion to our mission.
If our purpose resonates with you and you want to make a meaningful difference for food banks and their clients in London, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Fine Cell Work (FCW) is a UK-based rehabilitation charity and social enterprise. We are supported by an incredible team of prison volunteers who are the link between the charity and the stitchers we work with in prison. Our volunteers run fortnightly stitching groups in the prisons we work with to facilitate our stitchers’ production of high-quality needlework.

GMYN is seeking to recruit new trustees with the passion and drive to move the charity forward with our recently updated strategy.
Since 2007, we have supported over 15,000 young people across Greater Manchester who face significant challenges, including those with experience of the care system, young refugees, and those with social or mental health needs. We don’t just deliver programmes; we provide a "family" and a platform for young people to have their voices heard.
Following our 2025 Trustee Skills Audit, we are entering an exciting period of new opportunities and are looking for three new trustees to join our passionate board. We are looking for individuals who share our values of compassion, creativity, courage, learning and fun.
We are specifically seeking expertise/experience in the following high-priority areas:
- Finance & Audit Trustee: To provide scrutiny of financial information, budgeting, and support our long-term financial resilience.
- Fundraising & Income Generation Trustee: To help shape our fundraising strategy, focusing on corporate partnerships, grants, and traded income.
- Digital & Communications Trustee: To lead our digital strategy, helping us amplify our brand and marketing efforts.
- Young Trustees - Please see section below on “lived experience”.
However, you do not need to be an expert in these areas to apply. We welcome applications from anyone who shares our values. We believe that a diverse board with a wide range of perspectives is what makes us strong.
The Value of Lived Experience
GMYN aims to create an inclusive welcoming environment for young people and all those who work or volunteer at GMYN or wish to join #TeamGMYN.
Whilst our staff and board of trustees are diverse in many ways, we recognise we are not fully representative of the communities that we serve, and we want to change this. We especially encourage applications from the Global Majority, people from working-class backgrounds, and disabled or neurodiverse individuals.
At GMYN, we believe young people shouldn't just be part of our programmes—they should help lead them. We are looking for new Trustees help shape our future. We strongly encourage applications from:
- Young leaders (18+) who want to make a difference in Greater Manchester.
- Experts by experience: the unique insights you have from navigating the care system, living with a disability, or being a young person in Greater Manchester today. Your first-hand knowledge helps us make better, fairer decisions.
- People who currently use, or have previously been involved in, GMYN programmes including beneficaries, volunteers or GMYN alumni.
Your personal insight and "youth voice" are just as valuable to us as professional qualifications and experience. We want our board to reflect the diverse communities and the resilient young people we serve.
Why join #TeamGMYN?
Our current trustees choose to be part of GMYN because they want to:
- Make a meaningful difference for young people facing disadvantage.
- Gain a deeper sense of purpose by contributing to a cause rooted in compassion.
- Connect with diverse people and new perspectives within the community.
- Share their own knowledge to help more young people thrive.
The commitment
We expect trustees to try and attend all meetings. We have around 5 to 6 evening trustee meetings each year (on-line and face-to-face) plus attendance at the annual strategic planning day.
In addition to this trustees are encouraged to visit our projects and participate in focused working groups as and when needed.
Person Specification
Experience of youth work is not required to be a GMYN Trustee. Neither is previous experience as a trustee.
The main qualities that we are looking for are:
- A demonstrable passion for supporting young people so that they can build a positive future for themselves.

Many older people in our communities face significant challenges - from loneliness, isolation, and frailty to financial hardship and managing lifechanging conditions like Dementia. The work we do is vital in ensuring they have access to the support and care they deserve.
Our team is deeply passionate about this mission. Many of us have personal experience supporting older relatives through similar challenges, and these lived experiences fuel our commitment to delivering high-quality, compassionate services.
Following our successful merger in August 2023, our organisation is now moving forward with greater ambition and a renewed focus on expanding our reach. As a Trustee, you will play a crucial role in shaping that future - helping us to serve more people, strengthen our services, and advocate for the needs of older people across Maidstone, Sevenoaks, and Tonbridge.
We are looking for people from a financial background to help with oversight of our budgeting, planning, forecasting, investments, governance, reporting and financial decision-making. This is a great opportunity to work closely with organisational leaders to ensure every penny makes a difference.
