Help shape a fairer, more resilient Bristol.

Bristol Charities has been supporting communities for over 600 years through high-quality almshouse accommodation, targeted grants, community infrastructure, and charitable workspace. With deep roots in the city and expertise in housing, property, grants, and investment, they are uniquely positioned to address some of Bristol’s most urgent challenges, from poverty and housing need to educational inequality and social isolation.

As part of their continued evolution, Bristol Charities is seeking to appoint two new Trustees:

• One to Chair the Investment Management Group
• One to contribute more broadly to governance and strategic oversight

Both roles will play a vital part in guiding the charity’s future direction, working closely with the Chair, Chief Executive, and fellow Trustees to ensure strong governance, bold leadership, and lasting impact.

We’re particularly interested in hearing from individuals with experience in one or more of the following areas:

• Strategic leadership within a values-led organisation (public, private, or voluntary sector)
• Investment management, particularly in traditional and/or social investment
• Managing personal and corporate relationships at a senior level
• A strong connection to Bristol, its communities, culture, and challenges
• A personal commitment to social justice, equity, and community-led change

This is a rare opportunity to help shape a bold, place-based vision for Bristol, one that puts people, purpose, and place at the heart of everything.
