Screen Share is the leading refugee digital inclusion charity in the UK. Our mission is to ensure every refugee in the UK has a connected device and the skills to use it to achieve their goals.
We currently support 2000 clients a year with devices, internet connectivity and digital skills training and volunteering opportunities.
The organisation is entering a key period of growth. Having professionalised successfully in 2025, we are launching an ambitious 5-year strategy to significantly scale our programmes across the UK.
This represents a critical moment in our journey as a young organisation. As we deepen our impact and pursue financial sustainability, we are looking to onboard 3 new trustees to add significant governance experience in key areas.
Trustee: Charity Trading and Commercialisation
Our fundraising strategy prioritises corporate and trading income. That strategy is complemented by our trading income strategy, which seeks to invest in traded services which support our mission, including digital inclusion services, IT Repair, IT Leasing and IT Asset Disposal. We have good experience in these areas and are looking for a trustee to oversee and significantly contribute to decision-making regarding when and how to enter these markets. The postholder will ideally be a current or former leader of a social enterprise or charity that trades, who can provide the board with the expertise it needs to make informed decisions. This trustee will bring relevant insight on sustainable income diversification and fundraising strategy.
Trustee: Digital Governance
We handle sensitive client data, and act as a processor for sanitising donated devices. This creates significant cybersecurity, data protection responsibilities. We have a cybersecurity strategy, dedicated staff time and also receive pro-bono support to discharge those responsibilities effectively, but we need a trustee with expertise to provide genuine oversight in this area and represent the position at board level. Strong candidates will bring expertise in data governance, cybersecurity policy or digital risk management. We would particularly welcome candidates who bring expertise in digital inclusion alongside this.
Trustee: Safeguarding
As we scale up across the UK, we are making the intentional decision to deepen our relationship with our clients. We work with some of the most vulnerable people in the UK, so our board needs to be confident that we are providing proper oversight of how we keep them safe in the context of support. We are looking for a trustee with governance-level safeguarding experience who understands safeguarding frameworks and legislation, can scrutinise our policies and procedures, and hold our staff team to account in this area. This trustee will lead our Safeguarding sub-committee.
Key details
Roles available: Three trustee positions: Charity Trading and Commercialisation; Digital Governance; Safeguarding
Commitment: Approx 32 hours per year (see breakdown below)
Term: three years, renewable
Location: Online, with 1-2 in-person meetings in London per year

Moshun.Earth
We quantify companies' marine risk, mitigate exposure, and finance profitable ocean restoration.
Moshun.Earth is trying to solve a problem that doesn't really have a category yet: how do we make ocean restoration investable at scale?
The challenge is that we're not just building a product, but also the language, the narrative, and the market around it. There is no playbook, no proven messaging, no obvious growth strategy, and no "copy what the competition is doing." Which means we're very much figuring it out in real time, and it's as exciting as it is messy (nervous laugh from our CEO).
If you're someone who needs detailed instructions, this role probably isn't for you (please do not apply). However, if you're someone who sees an opportunity, runs with it, tests ideas, learns quickly and comes back saying "I tried this and here's what happened," keep reading :
The role
We're looking for a writer, not a content machine. A storyteller who gets excited by taking complicated ideas and making them feel human.
At Moshun, we spend a lot of time talking about marine biodiversity finance, ecosystem valuation, impact investing and ocean restoration. Most people's eyes glaze over after three words. Your job is to make sure they don't.
You'll help us build a voice that is intelligent without being academic, ambitious without being corporate, and optimistic without becoming fluffy.
What you'll own:
• LinkedIn content
• Newsletters
• Website copy
• Thought leadership articles
• Case studies
• Founder storytelling
• Interviewing team members and turning conversations into content
What we're looking for:
More than a CV, we're looking for evidence of a track record: a story you brought to life and resonated in places you never knew were possible, a community who grew around the voice you created, influential individuals who picked up on your content and amplified it because they felt seen through it. We will welcome someone who notices stories everywhere, asks good questions, who can sit through a technical discussion and leave with a compelling headline. You don't need to know everything about oceans, but to be curious enough to learn and confident enough to challenge the obvious.
What success looks like:
- People who know nothing about ocean regeneration suddenly care.
- Investors understand the opportunity.
- Project developers understand the value and buy our product
- Our audience starts repeating our ideas because they finally make sense.
Bonus points if you've ever rewritten something and thought: "There has to be a better way to say this." That's exactly the mindset we're after.
Why join?
Because you'll help shape the narrative of an emerging industry while doing good for the ocean and the communities who depend on it. And because if we succeed, you'll be able to say you were there when it was still just an idea with a handful of people stubborn enough to believe it could work. We're also a fun bunch of people, and that's probably our biggest argument.
