Cycle Sisters are looking for 2 new trustees to join our small team and help support and grow the work of Cycle Sisters initially in London. This is a voluntary role which helps to determine and oversee the strategy and development of the organisation, working closely with the three existing Trustees and a team of volunteers.
About Cycle Sisters
Cycle Sisters is a newly registered charity that aims to inspire and enable Muslim women to cycle. Our work has been acknowledged locally and nationally as pioneering in terms of helping to normalise cycling within Muslim communities. We have received recognition from the National Diversity Awards, Cycling UK, London Cycling Campaign and have been featured on the ITV News.
In 2016 we established our first Muslim women’s cycle group - the idea is simple; providing a culturally sensitive social opportunity for Muslim women to cycle, breaks down many barriers. Currently we operate groups in Walthamstow, Chingford and Redbridge and have developed a volunteer-led model for our rides which we plan to replicate in other areas of London (and eventually nationally). In addition, our partnership work with local and national cycling organisations helps to tackle stereotypes and make cycling more inclusive and diverse. Our longer-term goal is to grow into a nation-wide network of Muslim women cyclists, ensuring that Muslim women cyclists have a voice on a national level.
About the opportunity
This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the work of Cycle Sisters in its infancy. We anticipate that successful candidates will need to be able to contribute around 6-8 hrs a month to helping the charity succeed. Being a Trustee of a charity means you are there to set strategy and plans, and oversee the work ensuring that money and resources are used properly. As a small and newly formed organisation, we are currently looking for Trustees to play a more hands-on role.
Our Trustees serve a term of three years and the Board, on average, meets 4 times a year during weekday evenings.
Person specification
Our current Board consists of 3 Trustees - Chair, Secretary and Treasurer. We are looking for Trustees who can particularly support the organisation to develop our external profile with specific expertise in any of the following areas:
-
Public speaking and external representation (e.g. media, events, conferences)
-
Social and digital media including websites

Networking and relationship-building
All Trustees are required to have:
-
Commitment to and understanding of Cycle Sisters’ aims and values
-
Understanding of London-based Muslim communities including key organisatons, institutions and individuals (desirable)
-
Knowledge of the main developments and initiatives within London’s cycling scene is desirable (desirable)
-
Independent judgement, strategic vision and ability to challenge constructively as well as working collaboratively as part of a team
-
Availability to attend quarterly board meetings in London in addition to events and networking opportunities
-
Ability and commitment to provide further input as required not amounting to more than 6-10 hours per month

Food waste is a big issue in the UK and beyond. It’s estimated that a third of all food gets wasted. Most of this is avoidable and could have been eaten if better managed.

Current collections are done on foot but in the future we would like to partner with bigger stores where car pickups may be possible. Food will then need to be checked and stored safely, some goods may need to be bagged. Some good may need to be labelled with allergy information and dates.
Between 2pm and 5pm when the Fridge is open duties will include welcoming Fridge users, and offering hospitality (tea and coffee and a chat are a part of the service). Supervising Fridge use and keeping the area clean and hygienic. At the end of the session clearing away and checking if remaining food should be kept of disposed of.
We would also welcome volunteers who are interested in helping us find businesses to donate to the Fridge, want to get involved in local Fridge promotion, help organising events and fundraisers to support the Fridge and the local community, are interested in social media.
