Trustee - Furniture Reuse Charity

We would like to expand our Board of Trustees and it is an exciting time to join us. We are currently developing our new 2-year plan to find additional premises and to find new premises when our current lease ends in 2026. This will create an even bigger impact to the people and families we support, which you have a key role in shaping and influencing.

We are particularly interested in hearing from you if you have a background or advanced knowledge in Environmental issues/Climate change, HR and/or Finance, Property Management/Re-development or Procurement, Fundraising, Commercial/Business acumen.

Being a Trustee can be hard work and it’s unpaid, however, it can be immensely rewarding, providing both expected and unexpected opportunities for personal development. The Board of Trustees ultimately have responsibility for the charity and lead on the development and strategy and while you bring your skills and energy to leading the charity, you will also find you are gaining new ideas, networks, experience, and knowledge. By becoming a Trustee, you will also have significant opportunity to help shape the strategic direction of the charity to ensure that it continues to support the community, alleviate furniture poverty, improve lives and help protect the environment
