The cystic fibrosis community is diverse, encompassing people of all ages and backgrounds. We are committed to ensuring that this diversity is reflected on our Board. We are especially interested in hearing from those with lived experience of CF, disabled individuals, and candidates from Black, Asian, and minority ethnic communities, as well as LGBTQI individuals.

Our Trustees play a vital role in making sure that MenWalkTalk achieves its core purpose.

Just as importantly, they support and challenge the executive team to enable MenWalkTalk to grow and thrive, and through this, achieve our mission.

We are recruiting a new Trustee!
Training Link, a small friendly charity based in Somers Town, near the British Library, is looking for a new trustee to join our Board.
Becoming a trustee for Training Link is an exciting and fulfilling role. The role of a trustee is to ensure that our charity fulfils its duty to its beneficiaries through contributing to the strategic development, effective governance and financial management of the organisation.
About Training Link
Training Link is a small and welcoming charity based in the St Pancras and Somers Town ward of the London Borough of Camden where 18% of residents have no qualifications. We provide a range of IT training, accredited vocational training, employability support, ESOL, one to one literacy support and advice and advocacy, mainly around benefits and immigration. The aim is to help people gain employment or to move on to further education, training or volunteering.
Training Link is a registered charity No 1051662 and a company limited by guarantee. It is a well-established organisation, set up forty years ago and with a good local reputation.
Our Team
There is a staff team of six, mainly working part time for one or two days per week. There are six regular volunteers and a further twelve or so volunteers providing ESOL (English as a second language) support. Training Link is run by a Management Committee consisting of the Trustees, Director and three Management Committee members.
The role of a Trustee
Training Link is governed by a Management Committee which currently consists of five Trustees and three others who support the Trustees. The management committee members make sure that the charity does what it was set up to do and that it is run effectively. The management committee meets approximately every two months. In between meetings there are smaller sub-groups which meet to address specific tasks such as finance and fundraising.
The trustees are legally responsible for overall management and decision-making and must act with integrity, openness and honesty. They need to be willing to give their time to take an active part in running Training Link and they must be committed to Training Link’s diversity and inclusion policy and practice. All trustees are expected to attend at least 75% of Management Committee meetings per year.
Reimbursement of expenses
Trustees and Management Committee members can be reimbursed for expenses such as travel linked to Training Link activities but will not be paid simply for being a Trustee or for carrying out tasks for Training Link.
Becoming a Trustee
To apply, please e-mail us your CV and a short covering letter to Tanya Buynovskaya saying why you want to be a Training Link Trustee and what skills you can bring to our organisation.
The first step is an informal conversation with Training Link’s Director. You will be given an overview of our current work and will be given further information about our governance, policies and financial situation.
The second step is a formal interview with trustees which will take place in September. If selected, you will be invited to join our Management Committee and will receive a proper induction from both the Director and the Chair of the Board.
You will also be required to give your permission for us to apply for a DBS check for you and you must let us know if you joining us would involve any conflict of interest.
Rewards of Trusteeship
While being a trustee does involve time and commitment, the satisfaction and sense of achievement that you gain from the role more than makes up for this. We do make a real difference to people’s lives through improving their confidence and skills and providing the opportunity to get accredited qualifications. And of course, being a charity trustee can open the door to other opportunities.
How to Apply
To apply, please e-mail us your CV and a short covering letter saying why you want to be a Training Link Trustee and what skills you can bring to our organisation. The deadline for applications is Monday 11th August 2025.

Job Description
A contracted Ministry of Justice Approved Premises and Housing Charity working with released offenders on prison licenses and ex-offenders, to break the revolving door of re-offending, homelessness, and prison. Trustees will use their knowledge, experience, and skills in an environment they may not have previously encountered.
What will you be doing?
Trustees meet every two months with the Senior Management Team (SMT) at the Charity offices to monitor activities, finances, and development of the organisation, giving advice to the SMT and making such decisions as required to ensure the organisation is acting appropriately to meet the requirements of our stakeholders; Ministry of Justice, National Probation Service, Leeds Local Authority and within Charity Commission regulations.
The Organisation has grown rapidly, and it is essential that the Board of Trustees develops to meet the broad needs of this Charity.
New Trustees will contribute to the stability and support, advice, and opportunity that the Charity provides to enable vulnerable ex-offenders to do things differently and by offering their experience and specialist knowledge in the areas identified will add depth and breadth to the existing Board of Trustees.
Additional time and specialist advice given as and when required, will enable the SMT to respond effectively to new challenges and external changes as they occur whilst the SMT concentrate on the day-to-day work of the Charity and its staff.
New Trustees must want to make a difference to individual lives and wider society by supporting the SMT and staff to help those vulnerable ex-offenders with very specific and high-risk offending histories, who are being released from long or repeated prison sentences, to believe that they can live positive fulfilling lifestyles. It is essential that Trustees can view our service users with an open mind.
What are we looking for?
New Trustees are being sought with experience of Accounting and Auditing, Housing and Private Letting Legislation, accessing Funding opportunities, Police or Probation work, Mental Health, or Substance misuse fields.
It is vital that new Trustees have an affinity with the aims of the Charity and appreciate the value of giving individuals a chance to change their future and leave their offending lifestyle behind and the important role that stable accommodation plays in enabling individuals to turn their goals into reality.
Not all skills need to be specialist and an understanding of the barriers to prison release re-settlement, housing, employment, and stable relationships that many disadvantaged or vulnerable people in society face on a day-to-day basis is helpful.
Being able to work within a small team of Trustees and provide good interpersonal, supportive, and positive contributions is important.
If you feel you have valuable experience and skills to contribute and would like a new challenge, we'd love to hear from you.
What difference will you make?
The development and success of the organisation needs to be supported by maintaining the number of trustees and the range of expertise available to provide effective and sustainable governance going forward. In an environment where government policies and funding strategies are susceptible to change, a robust Board of Trustees will help to maintain the Charity's ability to provide and sustain an effective service.
This will thereby continue to increase the availability of stable accommodation with support; service user's ability to secure and maintain stable employment; build new relationships and increase access to healthcare and wellbeing support. As a result, this can lead to reduced reoffending, reduced prison population and cost to the taxpayer and therefore has potential to actively achieve public protection, reduce the impact of offending on victims, families and children of both victims and perpetrators and local communities.
Before you apply
Previous experience of Charity Governance would be useful but not necessary. Please contact us via Reach with any questions you may have, and we will be pleased to discuss the opportunity on offer.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
