If you are looking for help becoming a trustee, you're in the right place. Our resources will help you find a perfect trusteeship.

In all likelihood, yes! The vast majority of people over 18 can become charity trustees (over 16 if the charity is incorporated).

There are no formal qualifications or levels of experience that you have to gain before you join a charity board and you don't need to wait to be asked. The most important attribute is passion.

A very small number of people are automatically disqualified from being charity trustees. These conditions are listed in the Charity Commission's guidance.

Getting on Board's How to Become a Trustee Guide is the ideal place to start with information and practical steps on how to start your trusteeship journey today.

Why should I become a trustee?​

Trustees are exposed to a wide range of skills needed to oversee a charity: strategy and business planning, governance, HR, finance, marketing, fundraising, evaluation, property law and more. It can be an effective way to build your skills and your CV.

Becoming a trustee could boost your career

As a trustee, you can donate your skills, time and attention to a cause you love.
Trustees are often drawn to a charity because they're passionate about a particular cause, whether that's something they're interested in or something they've experienced themselves.

Become a trustee and give back to your community

Become a trustee and share your skills, knowledge and experience

Everyone has something unique to offer a charity. Use our resource bank of templates and resources to help you identify your strengths.

Where do I find a trustee position?

There are several ways of finding trustee vacancies including looking on:

Charity social media - it's a good idea to follow all those that inspire you

Charity newsletters - sign up to all the charities in which you have an interest

Local noticeboards or newspapers

Local councils - check their websites for information

Community Voluntary Services CVS where local charities and community groups come together

Trustee vacancy adverts

The Foundation for Integrated Transport

Closing Date: 1 January 2024 Based: UK

The Foundation for Integrated Transport (FIT) was established in 2014 by the late Dr Simon Norton, a world-class mathematician and renowned transport campaigner. Simon's vision was a world where humans have a right to get around without a car and where people can travel with minimum impact on other people's lives and the environment. FIT is one of the few grant-making trusts devoted entirely to promoting change on transport issues in the UK. To help achieve these aims, FIT offers four types of funding; grants, small grants, fellowships, and the Social Investment Fund.

FIT's 2023 funding focus is projects which focus on traffic reduction, with a particular emphasis on road-user charging. The trust has assets of approximately £6 million, to be spent over 10 years. FIT's two current areas of interest are transport as a basic human right and climate change.

As a specialist Foundation we are seeking trustees who have a keen interest in transport, but this need not be specialist knowledge. We are also looking for people with financial and legal knowledge/ backgrounds. Additionally, we are interested in finding younger trustees, with more based outside the southeast, as well as from a diverse range of backgrounds.

Is there a minimum age requirement?

Due to the nature of our work all volunteers must be aged 18 and over.

Can I volunteer if I have a criminal record?

Having a criminal record is not, in itself, a barrier to volunteering. We consider each offence individually, looking at issues like risk to our clients, how long ago it took place and the circumstances in which the offence took place. Anyone with a caution or conviction for a sexual offence against a child or vulnerable adult is considered unsuitable to volunteer.

Once I've applied, how long is it until I can start volunteering?

This will depend on the volunteer role. For volunteer positions that involve interactions with our service users, volunteers will need to be DBS checked and undergo training before they can begin volunteering.

I want to feed the homeless, can I volunteer?

Please bear in mind that we are not a provision based charity. Our work focuses on intensive, long-term emotional and practical support to people who are homeless. We approach the task of providing support with a long-term view aiming to empower our service users to change their lives.

My team and I are looking to do a day's corporate volunteering, Can you do this?

Unfortunately, due to the nature of our support work, we are unable to accommodate one-day volunteering. Our focus is on providing intensive, long-term emotional and practical support and for this reason we ask for longer-term commitments from our volunteers.

As a small charity we rely heavily on fundraising to help us continue our work, please consider using corporate volunteering days to raise money for a much needed cause.

Do you pay expenses?

Yes, reasonable travel expenses are paid.

Volunteering Opportunities - Otley Action for Older People in Otley & Pool

Volunteering is vital to the work of Otley Action for Older People and much of the work we do depends on their fantastic support.

Support workers help people with different daily living tasks e.g. shopping, housework, laundry, meals and helping with personal care needs. You will help with letters, paperwork and managing personal affairs. You will also develop peoples wellbeing by supporting them to access hobbies, activities, holidays and the things that make life satisfying and enjoyable.

Personal care means giving intimate support and can include helping people to wash or dress, use the toilet or shower. It can mean helping people to take medication or manage incontinence. To be clear this can be messy so if you can't cope with nudity or cleaning body fluids then perhaps this isn't the job for you. It is something that you get used to very quickly and the important thing is to give the person we support respect and dignity. Most of the people we support manage their own personal care but it is an area of the job that will be required.

Rewarding work

Why are we telling you this? We want to be clear about your expectations and the things you will do in your job. Care work can be one of the most rewarding jobs anyone can do. You will have the opportunity to make a difference to someone's life, to make them happy and enjoy life. You can bring peace of mind to families and feel re-assured that their loved ones are well looked after. You can give hope, company, a kind word and a cup of tea. Even the small things make a difference.

At the end of a hard day, you will sleep well knowing that your actions make a difference to somebody's life.

Lunch Club Helper

Lunch club helpers needed Fridays 11:30 - 2.30pm to help with serving, making tea and coffee, clearing away, and the opportunity to chat to local people aged 50-95 years.

Volunteer Thoughts on our Lunch Clubs

I help with the lunch club and like to think we ensure our members have at least one good fresh meal every week. Over the time they are with us you can tell by the rise in volume everybody is having a good natter. This may be the only time some of our members get the chance of a change of four walls and their own company. They leave with a bigger smile than they arrive with.

Cafe Helpers

Come and join our team of helper at our Community Café. We are open Weds-Fri, 9.00am-2.00pm and are looking for people who can help during any of this time but particularly Friday's. You can be involved in taking orders and operating the till, serving meals and clearing away, operating the dishwasher or helping out in the kitchen. Training will be provided.

Battle Scars is a fast-growing charity operating across the UK. We rely on volunteers to deliver our services: dedicated, committed, inspiring people who give their time and put a lot of effort in helping others.
We are a 100% survivor led and run organisation. This means that everyone within Battle Scars (staff, volunteers & trustees) have been affected by self-harm. We will continue operating in this way as it's vital in providing genuine peer support to our service users.

Battle scars is hugely important to me: a small organisation with a big heart. It's been amazing being back to f2f groups to see people and mix and share stories. Being a part of Battle Scars helps my mental health, helps my self-harm, also helps me understand and accept my self-harm. We have a great facilitator team, a great blend of ages experience. It's great to see people arrive so nervous, sometimes scared and feeling lost, but you see them lift, and relax over the 2-hour session. Put simply, myself and many others would be in a much darker, more lonely place without Battle Scars

There is no minimum or maximum commitment, but there will be an emphasis on providing continuity of support.

Transport & Escorting: Volunteer drivers are also needed; people who would be willing to assist with transporting our members to and from activities. A full driving licence is required. We are also in need of escorts to assist our minibus drivers. If you or anyone you know could spare a few hours a week, please get in touch with us.
