Trustees - Derbyshire Cricket Foundation
The Derbyshire Cricket Foundation are seeking to recruit several new voluntary Trustees to join our Board and support the work we do across Derbyshire to empower communities and improve lives through cricket.
We are seeking Trustees with diverse skills and experience, who care about improving lives through cricket or sport, and share our belief that cricket should be “a game for everyone”. A deep knowledge of cricket is not essential. We are seeking Trustees who can make a general contribution to the strategic oversight and governance of our business, and we’re also keen to add Trustees to our Board who have any of the following skills and experience.
· Finance – to be our Finance Director and Chair our Audit Committee
· Charitable Fund Raising
· Business Development
· Safeguarding
More information about the Derbyshire Cricket Foundation, the role of a Trustee, the time commitment involved, and the application process can be found in our Recruitment Pack.
Who We Are
The Derbyshire Cricket Foundation (DCF) is a registered charity that improves lives and empowers communities across Derbyshire through cricket. We also serve as the governing body for recreational cricket in Derbyshire – one of 39 county organisations working with the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to support a network of grassroots clubs and leagues to develop and sustain the game. Our ambition is that cricket will be the most inclusive team sport, and our strategy, “A Game for Everyone, outlines our plan to achieve this in Derbyshire. More information about what we do is included in our Recruitment Pack and in our 2024 Impact report.
What we’re looking for
We’re seeking several new voluntary Trustees to complement a strong group of existing Trustees who make up our Board. We are keen to attract candidates with diverse skills and experience and who can provide different perspectives and constructive challenge, support delivery of our strategy, and help us be the high-performing Board that cricket and communities across Derbyshire deserve.
We are seeking Trustees who can make a general contribution to the strategic oversight and governance of our business, and we’re also particularly keen to add Trustees with any of the following skills and experience.
· Finance – to be our Finance Director and Chair our Audit Committee
· Charitable Fund Raising
· Business Development
· Safeguarding
What’s involved?
As a Trustee of the Derbyshire Cricket Foundation you share ultimate responsibility for governing a charity and directing how it is managed and run, but the roles are largely “eyes-on, hands-off”, as our members of staff manage the day-to-day operational business of the DCF.
We have six Board meetings a year, typically of 2.5 hours duration. Board meetings are held on midweek evenings, start at 5.30pm, and are usually hosted at the Derbyshire CCC Central Co-Op County Ground in Derby. All our Board meetings have a hybrid format, so that Trustees can attend remotely via Teams if they need that flexibility.
Trustees are also expected to be a member of one of our Board committees, which will be aligned with their areas of interest or experience. This will typically involve attending a further 1-2 meetings per year. There may be further opportunities for Trustees to support our work or events, but we appreciate that the role is a voluntary commitment and respect that our Trustees will need to balance their time with other commitments.
The role is voluntary and unpaid. Trustees are initially appointed for a 3 year term, with an option to serve a further two terms, up to a maximum of 9 years. A comprehensive induction will be provided for new Trustees, to ensure they have good understanding of the role and the DCF business.

RSPCA South London Branch
We are looking for people willing to bring energy, enthusiasm and commitment to the role, and who will broaden the diversity of thinking on our board. We need volunteers who have expertise in Retail, Partnerships Corporate Fundraising, and Grants to help us maximise the revenue generated from our operations. You will gain new skills and experience as a Branch Trustee whilst enabling us to help more animals.
Overview of the Branch Trustee
We are looking for an enthusiastic and passionate person, with a background in retail, partnerships, corporate fundraising, and grants, who could devote their time to volunteer as a trustee for our Branch.
Alongside passing on your expertise, this opportunity will give you the chance to influence how we care for and prevent cruelty to animals and drive the implementation of key initiatives. You will serve on the governing body of the charity and be instrumental, alongside fellow trustees, in the running of the Branch and setting out both the short and long term aims.
As a minimum, trustees would normally be expected to attend a monthly committee meeting lasting some 2 to 3 hours. However, the commitment may vary depending on whether the trustee takes on additional duties.
About the RSPCA
Founded in 1824 we have been saving animals for almost 200 years and are proud to be the oldest welfare charity around. It has always been our vision to live in a world where all animals are respected and treated with compassion, so our volunteers and employees work tirelessly to ensure that all animals can live free from pain and suffering. Through our numerous campaigns, we seek to raise standards of care, and awareness of issues, affecting animals today. We rely heavily on our volunteers who play a significant role in enabling us to carry out this important animal welfare work every day!
The RSPCA South London Branch
The South London Branch is one of the branches of RSPCA, but we are also a separately registered charity looking after animals in our local area. Much of the animal welfare work of RSPCA is carried out through local branches, which is run by volunteers who have the support of the National Society of RSPCA.
Primary responsibilities of the Branch Trustee
- Assist the Branch Manager in maximising the profitability of the Branch’s three charity shops.
- Work with the Branch Manager to explore any potential for expanding the retail operation by researching the potential for further charity shops.
- Support the Branch Manager in establishing the Branch’s e-commerce operation via online sales platforms such as eBay.
- Work with other trustees, the Branch health and safety provider and the Branch Manager to ensure the charity shops meet health and safety standards.
- Explore other ways to generate income for the Branch and work closely with the Branch Manager to put these ideas into action.
- Organising and managing fundraising events, such as corporate challenges, sponsorship opportunities, and employee engagement activities.
- Ensuring excellent supporter care and stewardship of corporate partners, acknowledging donations and providing regular updates on the impact of their contributions. This will also involve volunteer management for events and working with team members to ensure all volunteers have a positive experience with us.
- Attending networking events to build relationships and identify new corporate fundraising opportunities.
- Working alongside team members to raise awareness of the charity's work through various channels, including corporate communications, newsletters, and social media.
What we are looking for in a volunteer:
We are looking for people willing to bring energy, enthusiasm and commitment to the role, and who will broaden the diversity of thinking on our board.
Specifically, we are looking for individuals with expertise in:
- Retail operations
- Partnerships
- Corporate fundraising and grants
Preferably, applicants will have familiarity with our geographic area and both the ability and willingness to participate in local community projects and/or small branch fundraising events from time to time. However, we are open to applicants from all backgrounds that will add expertise to our Board team. You do not need previous governance experience – we will provide a full induction and training.
Personal skills and qualities:
- Willingness and ability to understand and accept their responsibilities and liabilities as trustees and to act in the best interests of the organisation.
- Ability to think creatively and strategically, exercise good, independent judgement and work effectively as a board member.
- Effective communication skills and willingness to participate actively in discussion.
- A strong personal commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion.
- Enthusiasm for our vision and mission.
- Willingness to lead according to our values.
What difference will you make?
The RSPCA is broken up into regional branch areas. Each branch is responsible for all the local animal welfare.
Our trustees play a vital role in making sure that RSPCA South London achieves its core purpose. They oversee the overall management and administration of the charity. They also ensure that we have a clear strategy and that our work and goals are in line with our vision. Just as importantly, they support and challenge the executive team to enable us to grow and thrive, helping us to assist as many animals in need as possible.
Board members have a collective responsibility. This means that trustees always act as a group and not as individuals.
Your efforts will have a very real impact on the welfare of animals in our branch area.

For some children in care, most adults in their lives are social workers or other paid professionals. Please consider becoming an Independent Visitor, a volunteer who visits a child for a few hours each month to build a valuable and consistent relationship by spending time together doing fun activities.
Please note this is a rolling recruitment, so please make your application now and we will arrange interviews with prospective candidates as soon as possible.
Please mark any questions as N/A if they seem irrelevant to the Independent Visitor role.
