About Cards for Bravery

Cards for Bravery is a small registered charity dedicated to brightening the days of hospitalised and seriously ill children. We do this through services such as the distribution of positive handmade cards, bravery packages, activity packs, and more. Our mission is to provide moments of joy and comfort to children and families facing challenging circumstances and to help improve their mental wellbeing.

We are looking to grow and diversify our trustee board to ensure we have the skills, perspectives, and experiences needed to drive our charity forward.

What Does Being a Trustee Mean?

As a trustee, you will play a vital role in overseeing the governance and strategic direction of Cards for Bravery. You will help ensure the charity fulfils its mission, operates responsibly, and delivers real impact for the children and families we support. Board members have a collective responsibility. This means that trustees always act as a group and not as individuals. If you have not been a trustee before, you can also read The Charity Commission publication ‘The Essential Trustee’ which sets out the legal duties you have as a trustee.

What We Are Looking For:

We are seeking passionate and dedicated individuals to join our board of trustees. We are open to applications from all personal and professional backgrounds. You do not need previous governance experience. Any necessary training will be provided.

We are particularly keen to hear from individuals with experience or knowledge in one or more of the following areas:

  • Fundraising and/or sales

  • Finance management

  • Business management and strategy

  • Working with children in healthcare settings

However, your enthusiasm for our mission and commitment to making a difference in the lives of hospitalised and seriously ill children is our priority so if you have experience in other areas not listed above and think you’d be an asset to the team, please do apply.

Duties and Responsibilities

As a trustee, you will have duties and responsibilities such as:

  • Ensure the charity operates legally, ethically, and in line with its objectives. 

  • Helping shape and oversee the charity’s strategic direction.

  • Help review and approve the organisations financial statements, annual reports, policies and procedures and other relevant paperwork

  • Attend regular board meetings (approximately 5-6 a year) and participate in decision-making.

  • Act as an ambassador for Cards for Bravery and its mission.

As a small, volunteer-run charity, our trustees also play an active role in shaping and guiding the charity's activities and decisions by offering practical advice, supporting key projects, and ensuring smooth operations, where needed and possible.

Person Specification

We are looking for individuals who:

  • Are passionate about the mission and values of Cards for Bravery.

  • Can dedicate time and effort to the role, including attending bi-monthly meetings and contributing to initiatives.

  • Work collaboratively with other trustees and volunteers

  • Have ability to think creatively and strategically exercising good, independent judgement 

  • Have strong communication skills and a willingness to engage constructively

Commitment

  • Trustees are appointed for a 3-year term, with the possibility of renewal upon board approval.

  • The board meets approximately 5-6 times a year, and trustees are required to attend at least 75% of these meetings annually. Additional time may be required for specific projects or initiatives. Meetings usually take place on weekdays in the evening.

Why Join Us?

Becoming a trustee of Cards for Bravery is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the lives of hospitalised and seriously ill children and their families. It’s a fantastic way to gain experience and meet with like minded people. You can learn new skills and strengthen your CV. You will play a vital role in shaping the future of our charity and ensuring we continue to deliver our mission effectively.

If you are ready to bring your passion and expertise to our board, we would love to hear from you.
