Ignite Youth East London - Founding Board Member
Are you a seasoned professional ready to dedicate strategic oversight to a vital community project?
Ignite Youth East London is establishing its first Board of Trustees to govern our new, small, but rapidly growing youth club in Bromley By Bow. We need Trustees who are not afraid of hands-on governance and are passionate about ensuring the successful, compliant, and sustainable delivery of our Wednesday evening programme.
The Role: Governance Focused on Delivery

Strategic Oversight: Guide the charity's mission and strategy, specifically focusing on the growth and quality of the Wednesday club night.
-
Compliance & Risk: Ensure we meet all legal, financial, and safeguarding obligations relevant to running a small, weekly youth service.
-
Fundraising Support: Actively support the development of our fundraising strategy to secure resources specifically for the Bromley By Bow club.
-
Accountability: Support and hold the Volunteer Youth Club Manager and Lead Youth Worker to account for the club's performance.
We Are Particularly Seeking Expertise In:
-
Safeguarding/Youth Sector Compliance
-
Charity Finance (Treasurer)
-
Legal/Governance
-
Small-Scale Fundraising/Grant Writing
Who We Are Looking For:
-
Commitment: A strong dedication to our mission to empower young people in East London.
-
Experience: Proven professional experience relevant to the charity sector.
-
Availability: Willingness to attend quarterly board meetings (mostly remote, occasionally East London) and dedicate necessary time for reading and preparation (approx. 4-6 hours per month).
-
Passion: An excitement for supporting a new, grassroots community project.
