Ukrainian Institute London (UIL) is an independent charity dedicated to advancing public education in the United Kingdom by broadening knowledge and understanding of Ukraine. It champions Ukrainian culture and shapes the conversation about Ukraine in the UK and beyond, bringing together experts, creatives, policymakers, and active citizens to explore Ukrainian perspectives on global challenges. Through its programme of public events, projects, educational courses, and digital content, UIL works across the fields of arts, culture, language, and current affairs. The UIL highlights Ukraine’s expertise and experience to emphasise the urgency of international solidarity in support of democratic security in Europe and beyond.
UIL is seeking to appoint two new Trustees. As a Trustee, you will help shape the strategic direction of the organisation, ensure strong governance, safeguard UIL’s independence and integrity, and support its long-term sustainability. Trustees also act as ambassadors for the Institute, helping to build relationships, raise our profile, and support funding and partnership opportunities.
We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in one or more of the following areas:
-
knowledge of Ukraine and its place within wider European and international cultural contexts;
-
fundraising and income generation, including trusts and foundations, major donors, corporate sponsorship, or individual giving;
-
developing or supporting fundraising strategies;
-
charity governance and trustee experience;
-
arts, culture, heritage, or international cultural relations;
-
finance, law, organisational development, or strategy;
-
communications, marketing, partnerships, or audience development;
-
digital engagement and organisational sustainability.
We value a wide range of perspectives and welcome applications from people of all backgrounds.
Time commitment:
-
Four Board meetings per year, each approximately 2 hours, plus preparation time.
-
Review and input into key governance documents, such as the Annual Report.
-
Fundraising support, including meetings with potential donors and strategic advice to the Director and the UIL operations team.
-
Attendance at key UIL events, where possible.
-
Representation of the UIL at occasional meetings with partners or public-facing events.
-
Occasional ad hoc engagement, such as strategic advice on issues within the individual trustee’s area of expertise.
Overall, the commitment is expected to average approximately 1-2 days per month (which includes attendance at UIL events) and can easily fit in with other commitments.
This is a voluntary and unpaid role. Expenses are not reimbursed.
This is an opportunity to play a meaningful role in strengthening a leading cultural charity and supporting its mission to promote Ukrainian culture, knowledge, and dialogue in the UK and beyond.

humane drug policies. Our vision is a world where drug policy contributes to safer and
healthier societies. We want to recruit a treasurer, to oversee income and expenditure of the
organisation, to help drive forward our work.
This is an exciting time in drug policy. Rapid changes in approach are occurring in the UK and
internationally. Transform has a long history of shaping these changes and seeking to ensure
that reform reduces harm, improves social justice and protects public health. Our Anyone’s
