Formed in 1998, the Dalit Solidarity Network-UK (DSN UK) is a human rights organisation that brings together individuals and organisations concerned about the continued violation of human rights as a result of caste-based discrimination, as it occurs in the UK and in South Asia.
Registering as an official charity in 2003, DSN UK continues to grow as an effective campaigning and advocacy organisation. We do this by amplifying the voices of those affected by caste-based discrimination towards target actors that have power and influence to help eliminate and remedy such discrimination and its effects.
We are fortunate to have the support of other human rights organisations with whom we work closely, including the International Dalit Solidarity Network (IDSN), which focuses on highlighting the issues on the global stage.
The focus of DSN UK’s our work is on advocacy and lobbying to influence for legal and policy frameworks for addressing caste based discrimination in the UK and in other caste affected countries. Some of our ongoing work include campaigning for caste legislation in UK, documenting experiences of ‘Everyday Casteism’ in the UK, working with businesses to address caste-based discrimination in UK workplaces and in supply chains, and supporting UK higher education institutions to address caste-based discrimination.
DSN UK currently has one full-time Director, and one part-time Communications Officer.
The Chair:
We are looking for a dedicated individual who is committed to the elimination of caste-based discrimination to support our organisation in an exciting new phase of work in the UK and in South Asia in solidarity with other activists.
The role of the Chair is to lead the board of trustees, ensuring that it fulfils its responsibilities for the governance of the organisation. The Chair must also work closely with the employees to support them in achieving the aims of the organisation, and act as the channel of communication between trustees and staff. The Chair may act as a figurehead of the organisation and represent it at functions, meetings and in the press and broadcasting media. Other tasks include authorising action to be taken between meetings of the full board, signing cheques and legal documents.
This role is mainly home-based but will require travel to London for the Annual General Meeting of the DSN-UK and at least one other in-person Board meeting per year.
The responsibilities of the Chair will include:
Person specification for a Chair
In addition to the qualities needed by all trustees, the Chair should also possess the following:
Commitment:
Attendance at quarterly board meetings plus ad hoc phone/email contact; approximately 15 hours per quarter. The appointment normally will be for three years in the first instance. This role is voluntary, but reasonable travel expenses for board meetings will be reimbursed.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
More than one in five people in the UK are living in poverty. Millions of households are struggling to afford essentials, falling behind on bills or going without food. Financial insecurity affects people across every part of society and remains one of the defining social challenges of our time.
At Turn2us, we believe poverty is not inevitable. Every year, we support millions of people to improve their financial security through practical help, direct support and long-term systems change. Working alongside people with lived experience, we combine immediate action with ambitious efforts to address the root causes of financial insecurity.
We are now seeking a Trustee to join our Board and serve as Chair of our Finance, Investment and Audit Committee and Honorary Treasurer.
This is a significant governance leadership role at an important point in Turn2us’s journey. As we look towards our next strategic chapter, the Board will play a vital role in balancing long-term ambition with strong financial stewardship and governance. Turn2us is well positioned, with a diversified asset base including property and investments, alongside Elizabeth Finn Homes, our care home business, which contributes around one-third of the charity’s income.
We are looking for a qualified accountant with substantial experience of financial leadership, governance and risk oversight. Experience within the charity sector would be valuable, as would familiarity with areas such as investment management, property, social housing or care services.
Alongside technical expertise, we are seeking someone who brings sound judgement, curiosity, humility and a collaborative approach. You will provide constructive challenge and strategic insight, helping the Board and executive team navigate an increasingly complex financial environment while ensuring the organisation remains focused on delivering impact for people facing financial insecurity.
Our Trustees come from a broad range of professional and personal backgrounds. We are committed to building a Board that reflects the communities we serve and particularly welcome applications from people with lived experience of financial insecurity and those from communities currently underrepresented at Board level.
This is an opportunity to contribute to an ambitious organisation tackling one of society’s most pressing challenges, working alongside an engaged Board and executive team to help ensure everyone has enough to live on.
Time commitment
The Chair of the Finance, Investment & Audit Committee is expected to commit ten days per year on average, including preparation for and attendance at quarterly in-person board meetings (held in our London office), subcommittees and occasional strategy sessions.

Do you want to be inspired by the impact of education? Schools across Bracknell Forest are looking for skilled volunteers to support education by becoming school governors.
What will you be doing?
Governing bodies are responsible for the strategic management of a school and will make decisions about a wide range of issues
The core responsibilities involved are:
The governing body is usually split in to a small number of committees, each responsible for one area such as finance or pupil achievement. These committees will meet separately from the main governing body to discuss relevant issues in more detail. Discussion is then fed back at a full governing body meeting.
A school governing body is made up of representatives from the school, the parents, the local authority and the local community.
What are we looking for?
You don’t need any specific skills or experience to be a school governor. You must be over 18, but you don’t need to be a parent or have experience working in education. Often, it’s the outside perspective you can bring that a school needs.
Professional experience in areas such as HR, finance, law, or project management are all useful to a school. But soft skills such as leadership, communication, and problem solving are also great additions.
What difference will you make?
Governors make decisions that affect schools for years to come. Our recent impact survey found that our volunteers bring £9.9 million worth of value to schools each year, and 9/10 volunteers would recommend being a governor to a friend.
As a governor, you can visit the school to gain an understanding of the culture and ethos and to get the most out of the role. You’ll also have the opportunity to meet children, parents, and teachers, and see the impact of your work first-hand.
What's in it for the volunteer?
Volunteering as a school governor is a challenging but rewarding role. As part of the governing board, you’ll:
Before you apply
You will need to complete an application form and will have an interview with the school. DBS checks will be taken up.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
