Cripplegate Foundation: Governor (Trustee)

Salary: Unremunerated, but expenses reimbursed
Location of meetings: London (N1) and online
Hours: On average about four hours per month
Deadline: 16th October at 5:00 p.m.

Do you want to make a real difference in Islington? Are you passionate about tackling poverty, inequality and helping to create a borough where everyone can thrive?

Cripplegate Foundation is looking for new Governors (trustees) to join our board. This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of a trusted, independent and innovative organisation that has been supporting Islington for over 500 years. Working alongside our partners at Islington Giving, we invest over £2 million a year in local charities and community groups. Together we amplify local voices, improve access to opportunities and support lasting change.

Who we’re looking for

Can you help amplify the voices of those we work with, through your personal or professional experience?
Could you bring additional diversity to our board so that we better reflect the communities in which we work?
Do you have some frontline charity experience, senior leadership or otherwise?
Are you able to commit the time required to make the most of joining us?

We are genuinely encouraging a wide range of people to come forward and cannot emphasise enough about how your background, life experience, approach and values are more important than any knowledge or experience of grant making, or of being a trustee elsewhere.

Full induction, mentoring and ongoing support will be provided. This is a voluntary/unpaid role, with expenses covered.

The closing date for applications is 16th October at 5:00 p.m.
