Who we are
We are an international development grantmaking charity currently supporting education and livelihoods projects in sub-Saharan Africa, Indian Sub-continent and South East Asia.
The role
We need people who can help us to achieve our mission and ensure the organisation is effectively managed. You must be able to make a commitment to the Trust and devote the necessary time to the role – as well as have strategic vision, independent judgement, an ability to think creatively and a willingness to speak your mind.
Our offices are based in Ealing Broadway and the successful candidate will be expected to join the rest of the board here for in-person meetings 6 times a year.
We see trusteeship as a partnership, not a volunteer ‘job’ so we don’t run competitive recruitment rounds. We accept expressions of interest on a rolling basis and trustees review submissions quarterly. If you are interested in becoming a trustee please complete the form on our website (Become a Trustee link at the top of the home page). If the trustees think you would be a good fit for the Trust, the first stage would be a phone call with the Director and one trustee, then based on how both parties feel, an invitation to observe a trustee meeting and meet the other trustees.
Our ‘Become a Trustee’ page on our website has more information on the role and what is expected of a trustee.
