Trustees with legal or financial expertise sought (voluntary roles)
The Association of Breastfeeding Mothers (ABM) has supported breastfeeding families across the UK for over 40 years. We provide high-quality, evidence-based information and support to help parents make informed feeding choices and reach their own breastfeeding goals.
ABM is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation and is currently in an important period of transition. We are moving from a predominantly volunteer-led organisation to a more sustainable staff-led model, while continuing to value and invest in our volunteers. As part of this development, ABM has recently appointed its first Chief Executive Officer, strengthening our operational capacity and enabling the Board to focus more clearly on governance, strategy and long-term resilience.
We are now seeking two new trustees to join our Board, bringing strong legal expertise or strong financial / accounting experience to help guide ABM through this next phase.
About ABM
Our work includes:
-
Co-running the National Breastfeeding Helpline, in partnership with the Breastfeeding Network, providing direct support to parents 24 hours a day, 365 days a year
-
Producing accessible, evidence-based resources for parents and professionals
-
Delivering education and training for volunteers and professionals involved in infant feeding support
-
Advocating nationally for breastfeeding through participation in strategic and policy-focused groups
The trustee roles
We are particularly keen to hear from people who can bring legal or financial expertise to the Board. The examples below are intended to give a sense of the types of experience that may be helpful in these roles, however, they are not a list of essential criteria, and we welcome applications from people whose experience may sit outwith these specific examples.
Legal expertise
-
Charity law, employment law, governance, compliance, contracts or regulatory frameworks
-
Confidence in advising the Board on governance responsibilities, risk and sound decision-making
Financial / accounting expertise
-
Financial management, accounting, audit, budgeting or financial oversight
-
Ability to support trustees in understanding financial information and long-term sustainability
Previous trustee experience is welcome but not essential. What matters most is your willingness to contribute your skills thoughtfully, ask good questions, and support ABM’s mission and values.
What being a trustee involves
Trustees are expected to play an active and engaged role in ABM’s governance and strategic direction. This includes:
-
Attending Board meetings every second month (six meetings per year), currently held remotely in the evening and lasting up to two hours
-
Reading papers in advance and contributing thoughtfully to discussion and decision-making
-
Engaging with Board communications between meetings, including email and Microsoft Teams discussions, to support timely and informed governance
-
Taking part in occasional additional meetings or events during the year, including an annual planning and review session
We recognise that trustees are volunteers and aim to be realistic and respectful of people’s time. What matters most is consistent engagement, good judgement, and a collaborative approach.
Support and induction
We offer:
-
A comprehensive induction
-
Ongoing support from the Chair, fellow trustees and staff
-
Training where needed to support you in the role
Our values and commitment to inclusion
You do not need personal breastfeeding experience to be a trustee. However, it is essential that you support ABM’s charitable purpose and recognise the importance of breastfeeding to the health and wellbeing of mothers and babies.
ABM is fully committed to equality, diversity and inclusion. We welcome applications from all suitably qualified people and are keen to ensure our Board reflects the diversity of the families we support. We warmly welcome applications from men, as well as from people who are currently under-represented on our Board, including disabled people and people from Black and minoritised ethnic communities.
Language note
We celebrate diversity in family structure and individual circumstance. We use the terms parent, mother, father, and infant, welcoming every parent’s preference for the terms they use to describe themselves. We use the term breastfeeding, recognising that parents may choose to use other terms, for instance body-feeding, chestfeeding or nursing.
As described in the Lancet Series 2023 “we use the terms women and breastfeeding throughout this [document] because most people who breastfeed identify as women; we recognise that not all people who breastfeed or chestfeed identify as women” (Baker et al, 2023).
The best quality support is culturally sensitive and tailored to meet each
individual’s needs (Gavine et al, 2022).

Our governance is strong, ethical, and future‑ready.
