Help us improve the quality of life after spinal cord injury!

At Stoke Mandeville Spinal Research (SMSR), we’re dedicated to improving the quality of life for people living with spinal cord injury (SCI). Our research tackles some of the biggest challenges faced after injury — from pressure ulcers and urinary tract infections to chronic pain and poor mental health.

As we continue to grow our reach and impact, we’re seeking a new Trustee with knowledge of fundraising or income generation to join our Board.

What we’re looking for:

We’d love to hear from you if you have experience in:
-Developing and delivering successful fundraising strategies
-Building partnerships with individuals, corporates, or trusts
-Supporting charities or non-profits to grow income and influence

You’ll bring insight, ideas, and energy to help us deliver sustainable income and act as a champion for our work within your networks.

Previous trustee experience isn’t essential; what matters most is your commitment to our mission and a willingness to contribute your expertise at a strategic level.

What you’ll do:

• Offer strategic advice on fundraising and supporter engagement
• Help open doors to new networks, donors, and opportunities
• Be an ambassador for SMSR and our research impact

What you’ll receive:

• The chance to make a real difference to people living with spinal cord injury
• An opportunity to use your skills at Board level and gain governance experience
• Collaboration with passionate trustees, researchers, and professionals

Interested?

To apply or find out more, please send a short covering note and your CV to Charlotte Minoprio (Head of Development).
