Trustee volunteer roles

Sabre Education is an award-winning international NGO which, since 2004, has been providing children in Ghana with the best possible early childhood education by partnering with the government to implement play-based learning at scale.

This is an active Trustee group. Individually, Trustees are expected to contribute their skills, knowledge and experience to guide the charity, and to further its objectives. From time to time, Trustees will be asked to represent Sabre Education at external functions, or support Sabre’s work through engagement with key stakeholders and through their own networks.

We are looking for Trustees with the following profiles:

• Proven strategic leadership experience
• Strong communication skills and collaborative style
• An understanding and appreciation of good governance, compliance and risk management
• Lived experience in Africa, in particular Sub-Saharan Africa.

About The Outrunners

The Outrunners support young people to get outdoors, get moving, and build the futures they want - all through the power of running, movement and community. Our vision is a London where everyone is included and no one is left behind. 

The young people we work with have incredible talent, creativity and energy - but they don’t get the opportunities they need because of deep structural disadvantages, whether that’s racism, sexism or financial inequality.

We harness the collective energy of the running world to change that: helping young people to access fun and accessible running sessions. We help to improve their physical and mental health, their confidence, and their teamwork skills. But that’s just the beginning. The Youth Practitioners who work with our young people are not just coaches but trusted mentors and role models, helping to keep them on the right path. And our Outrunners Youth Hub is not just a room for bag drop but a specially designed space for young people to hang out before a session, play games, read comics, eat healthy snacks, or try to beat us at table tennis! We also use our brand partnerships to provide work experience opportunities, giving young people that all-important foot in the door and setting them up for bright futures.

We also run two unique marathon and half-marathon training Academies - there is a Youth Academy for young people aged 16-21 as well as a Women’s Academy for ethnically diverse women. We bring people together who have never run long-distance before, help foster a supportive community crew, and give them the skills, kit, coaching and confidence to cross that finish line and realise that they can do whatever they set their minds to - and that running belongs to them, too. 

Driven by young people themselves, we are building a community that moves together: removing barriers to participation in running and movement; building connections in London’s diverse neighbourhoods; creating pathways to help young people achieve their ambitions; and driving change to tackle disadvantage and make running truly inclusive. Last year, we supported over 1,150 young people across our programmes. 

In the 8 years that The Outrunners has existed, we have rapidly caught the attention of the running world and have grown quickly, thanks to the impactful support of major brands, races, the wider running world and the philanthropic and community sectors. We now have significant partnerships with Nike, Moju and Precision Fuel & Hydration that are taking us to the next level.

We have an experienced team, a growing basis of dedicated supporters, connections in the running and sports world, and a strong income pipeline for 2026/27.

What do we need from our Trustees?

Trustees must be people with independent judgement, an ability to speak their mind, and a willingness to use their knowledge, experience and networks to support The Outrunners.

Although not essential, we are particularly interested in Trustees with either of the following skills and experience: 

• Experience navigating periods of rapid growth and scaling, including providing governance over the internal infrastructure required to do this sustainably, and managing the risks this entails.

Beyond this, the things we need from our Trustees are:

• An understanding of the challenges facing young people in Hackney, and an insight into how The Outrunners Charity can best add value to supporting the future generations around us.

We are not expecting applicants to have all of these qualities, and expect that the best candidates will come with some others. But we hope that our Trustees between them will be able to cover all of these key attributes and more.

Above all, you need to have genuine enthusiasm and a commitment to achieving the best outcomes for the young people we work with by supporting and guiding our Chief Executive and The Outrunners’ passionate and committed staff and volunteers in their mission to better the lives of marginalised young people in Hackney.
