Become a trustee
Help us strengthen the board.
Our board already includes an independent trustee alongside founding family members, in line with our constitution. As we grow, we're keen to add further independent voices to strengthen our governance and decision-making.
We'd particularly welcome experience in one or more of: safeguarding, finance or accounting, charity governance, or work in Pakistan or the wider charity sector. This is an unpaid, voluntary role with reasonable expenses covered.
Express interestWhat's involved
- A small number of trustee meetings each year (at least twice)
- Shared responsibility for the charity's decisions and safeguards
- Helping review overseas grants and governance
- Independent challenge — your outside perspective is the point
We'll provide our constitution, policies and an induction. Trustees must be eligible under the Charities Act 2011.
