The Trustees are the governing body of MAP and are, collectively and personally, ultimately responsible for all the charity’s activities. MAP is a company limited by guarantee, so the Trustees are also the legal Directors of the charitable company.
Trustees are responsible for providing appropriate oversight, governance and strategic leadership to MAP in the pursuit of its charitable purposes.
MAP particularly welcomes applications from people with one or more of the following:
· Palestinian heritage or lived experience in the occupied Palestinian territories.
· Professional medical or clinical expertise, particularly in the contexts of international development and/or conflict.

· Participate in Board induction, training and evaluation, individually or as a member of the Board, as appropriate.
· Attend Board and applicable sub-committee meetings, and read the papers provided in advance of the meetings.
· Participate in individual and Board performance appraisals, and attend any additional training recommended as a result of the evaluation process.
· Uphold the highest standards of integrity and probity.
Person Specification
Skills and Abilities
· Understands MAP’s aims and objectives and are aligned with the organisation’s fundamental values.
· Has prior governance experience at board level or equivalent, which may be in the charity, public or private sectors.
· Ability to think strategically.

Terms and Conditions
Duration
The Trustee will be appointed to serve for an initial term of three years. At the end of the initial term, the Trustee will be eligible to be re-appointed for up to two further three-year terms.
Location
There are no requirements regarding a Trustee’s location. MAP’s head office is in Central London. Trustees are encouraged to attend meetings in person, but if this is not possible, videoconference facilities are provided.
Remuneration
The role of the Trustee is a voluntary one and is therefore unpaid. However, MAP will reimburse all out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by the Trustee in the course of their duties.
Time Commitment
Immediately following an appointment, MAP will agree on a personalised induction plan. The time commitment for this plan will depend partly on the Trustee’s prior knowledge and experience.
MAP hold a minimum of four board meetings a year, conducted on a hybrid basis as noted above. These normally last between three and four hours including a break. There is usually also one full-day session per year dedicated to strategic planning, for which attendance in person is highly desirable.
The Trustee will be expected to join one of the sub-committees of the board. Sub-committee meetings are also held four times a year, on a hybrid basis, and normally last around two hours.
In addition to preparing for and attending meetings, the Trustee will be expected to participate in routine governance activities such as training, appraisals, and recruitment or exit interviews.
Ordinarily, the above commitments would entail between one and two days per month. Applicants are advised that, since the events of October 2023, MAP’s activities have expanded enormously and some of the current Trustees have been contributing significantly more time than this.
The deadline for applications is Sunday 17th November 2024.

International Aid for the Protection & Welfare of Animals (IAPWA) is a UK-registered animal welfare charity dedicated to creating a better future for animals in need.
Our first project, established in 2009, is based in Borneo where we provide a lifeline to thousands of dogs and cats every year in need of veterinary care and support. Our companion animal projects and support programmes for other species have since developed in other parts of the world, including Romania, Penang Island, the Philippines, and Tanzania.
Our Auctions for Animals team is looking to expand and requires a passionate admin volunteer to help us continue to run successful online fundraising events. Ensuring our monthly auction records are kept up-to-date and communicating with our supporters and donors will be your main priority. You will also be supporting our team with other admin needs and contributing to our social media presence.
Experience of Google Workspace would be an advantage along with strong communication skills, excellent attention to detail and the ability to work independently. As our main auctions are run through our facebook group so you must have an active account.
We would ask that you can commit 1-3 hours per week, and while some tasks may be time sensitive, your hours can be flexible and can fit around your other commitments.
If you would like to help us increase awareness of IAPWA’s work and raise vital funds, we would love to hear from you.
