Welcome and thank you for your interest in becoming a Trustee of The Hardman Trust
- Are you keen to help people leaving prison and support them to work towards their goals?
- Do you believe that with the right support people can rebuild their lives, contribute to their communities, and break free from the cycle of reoffending?
- Do you share our conviction that no one should be defined solely by their past, and that everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive?
If so, you could be one of the people we are looking for to help The Hardman Trust move into the next
exciting chapter of our work.
Who are we?
The Hardman Trust was established in 1994, with the aim of helping people leaving prison after long
sentences. Our founder, Guy Armstrong, was a prison Chaplain. He saw the challenges facing this
group: homelessness, a lack of workplace skills, stigma, isolation, low confidence, and poverty. A fund
was set up to provide financial assistance to purchase tools and equipment, offering a helping hand
into employment. We now know from experience that this practical approach works. The people the
Hardman Trust has supported over three decades have used this financial support to gain
qualifications, start their own businesses, find employment and a new direction in life. We are now
extending our reach so more people can benefit from our support and sharing our evidence and
insights to help shape a more effective, humane criminal justice system. Achieving this means securing
the right funding, building strong partnerships, and ensuring our resources are used with maximum
efficiency and impact.
We are looking for several new Trustees to join the Hardman Trust Board. If you want to support our
mission, and you feel that you have the commitment and the life or professional experience for the
role, we would love to hear from you. In return, you will have the chance to make a meaningful
difference to those serving long sentences; and you will be part of a passionate and committed team
of staff, trustees and volunteers. We offer support to all new Trustees and if you haven’t been one
before, don’t worry - we will make sure you have access to any training and development you feel you
need.
It is a privilege to be part of the Hardman Trust’s work. It is an incredible organisation making real
change in the criminal justice sector. It is an exciting time to join the charity – we have recently
appointed a new CEO, Annette So and we are looking forward to developing our direction for the
future and fulfilling our vision where everyone can achieve their potential within and beyond prison.
The Trustee role
The Trustees work collectively as a Board. They have ultimate responsibility for governing the
Hardman Trust charity, directing its management, and ensuring it is well-run and operates according to
its purposes. They are legally responsible for the charity's finances, reputation, and compliance with
the law. Each Trustee brings their own lived experience and/or professional skills to support the charity
achieve its aims. Most Trustees also learn new skills during their time on the Board.
We want our Board to look like the world we serve and to have different voices within it. We know
that diverse groups of people make better decisions. We are keen to hear from people who can bring
perspectives or experiences often underrepresented in charity governance and how can help us
progress our vision.
Trustees are not usually involved in the day-to-day running of the charity. However, they work closely
with the Hardman Trust’s dedicated staff team, who are supported by a wider group of volunteers. The
Trustee role as in the majority of charities, is unpaid although legitimate expenses – travel costs for
example – can be claimed.
The Trustees’ key responsibilities
- Setting The Hardman Trust’s strategy and priorities.
- Representing the community, we serve and ensuring our decisions reflect the needs and experiences of those leaving prison.
- Supporting and constructively challenging our staff team to ensure the charity’s work, resources, and partnerships are well-managed and deliver maximum impact.
- Approving operational strategies and policies and monitoring their implementation.
- Approving The Hardman Trust’s financial plans and budgets and monitoring progress.
- Ensuring that key risks are being identified, monitored and controlled effectively.
- Promoting and safeguarding our values by acting with integrity, fairness, and commitment at all times.
- Applying their skills, expertise, knowledge and contacts to promote the charity’s work.
What we are looking for
No single Trustee will have everything the Hardman Trust needs. We want our Board to have the
collective experience needed to support and guide the charity. What matters most is your
commitment to our mission, your willingness to share your perspective and knowledge, and your
readiness to contribute to our Board’s decision-making. You do not have to have been a Trustee
before.
To complement the experience of our current Trustees, we are keen to hear from people with one or
more of the following:
- Lived experience of the criminal justice system, whether your own or that of a partner, family member, or close friend.
- Knowledge of Black, Asian, or minority ethnic communities, especially in relation to challenges faced after leaving prison.
- Professional experience in, or connected to, the criminal justice system.
- Expertise in HR, banking, and employment law to help us strengthen our policies and practices.
- Fundraising expertise to help grow the charity’s income and help us establish a Fundraising
- Advisory Board.
- Commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion and to improving outcomes for people serving long prison sentences.

At Her Centre, we believe in empowering women to have a voice. We also believe that education and awareness are the first steps to systematic change.
We are looking for a volunteer to help us raise our online presence. Our goal is to be a household name in Greenwich, so that as soon as any woman needs us, she already knows who we are and how to reach us.
The Storyteller role will have two key responsibilities:
- Improving our social media presence
- Recording the stories of the women we support
Social Media
We currently have an Instagram and a Facebook account but neither are being used to their best ability. We are looking for someone who wants to take on this project as their own, flood our pages with great content and maybe introduce us to some other platforms. You will be supported by a great team here, but you will be the expert!
Recording Stories
People's experiences matter. They help us show the world how incredible the women we support are, and they help us teach people about the reality of abuse. However, it can be very difficult to open up and have your story told, so we are looking for someone who has the patience and understanding to speak with women in a safe and supportive manner. In many cases, we must maintain absolute anonymity to ensure the woman's safety so you will also help us find ways to share their perspective without fear.
We are looking for excited, creative people with big ideas who can support us to be seen by those who needs us. We are open to all projects and proposal that will help us reach our goal, so if you don't see a volunteer vacancy that matches your expertise, please reach out and let us know what else you might be interested in doing!
*For genuine occupational requirement reasons, we are seeking female applicants only for this post (exemption under the Equality Act 2010; Schedule 9 Part 1).
In place of a full cover letter, please write a short paragraph on why you are interested in this role and any ideas you might have about how you would improve our comms
