About Us:
Evolve Counselling is a long-established charitable social enterprise, providing low cost, affordable or funded mental health counselling to adults in Cambridgeshire and surrounding counties. Our professional counselling community is made up of 50 – 60 qualified self-employed practitioners, working part-time to deliver talking therapies both online and in person.

Evolve also provides supervision, reflective practice, critical incident support, and mental health awareness and related training to organisations and businesses large and small.

Do you want to support the running of a longstanding, free and highly-effective counselling service for young people?
You could be a trustee for Bracknell-based charity, Youthline.
Set up in 1988, now a Charitable Company Limited by Guarantee, we have just celebrated 35 successful years, offering more than 600 counselling hours to young people every month. Demand and complexity of services continue to increase, and we have thus improved space and availability to meet that demand.
Our anniversary year meant a new logo, and in 2023/24, our income was maintained at £220k, with a successful funding bid. Of course, income-generation remains a high priority, as for all charities.
The role and what we are looking for in a new trustee
Trustees are the people who make the top-level decisions for our charity. Our Board includes people with experience and skills in governing a youth counselling charity, and we require new trustees to have empathy with our cause and our beneficiaries.
You don’t necessarily need prior experience of charity trusteeship, as full induction and guidance from our trustees and staff will be provided, including access to external training, as needed.
We are looking for new trustees with some skills or experience in:
- Income-generation
- Employee & volunteer support/HR
- We also are looking for ‘general’ trustees who are interested in our mission and services
If you are unsure your abilities or experience fit our needs, please ask: we’re flexible how people can contribute to our charity. If you can think strategically and plan long-term, you have the primary skills needed by our trustees; you’ll also need to be able to work collectively with other Board members. Support from our paid employees is always available, as they deal with the day-to-day running of the organisation.
We are a charity not a business, but we apply business principles to governing our organisation. We are looking for people from a variety of backgrounds to join our Board, and want to expand the diversity of our board, in all meanings of the word, strongly welcoming applications from people from less-represented groups.
We ask for up to five hours of your time per month, less at some times of year, which includes all meetings, discussions, etc. You will need access to digital communications, as some of our charity’s business is run that way, with quarterly Board meetings face-to-face in Bracknell.
How to apply
This appointment is being managed for us by inVOLve Community Services, a charity-support organisation, who offer a no-obligation discussion by video or phone, and assistance with your application. A detailed Role Description and Person Specification can be made available to you upon request.
Trustee appointments are subject to satisfactory references and completion of a Safeguarding course.
Your CV or similar will be read by our existing trustees, and an interview offered as soon as mutually convenient.

One will serve as Deputy Chair of the Finance Board and be co-opted to the Trustee Board (see Term of Office and Obligations below). The others will be appointed to serve as members of Finance Board.

IMechE's Finance Board
The IMechE Finance Board was set up in October 2019 as a result of the recommendations from the Finance and Governance Review Committees. It contains both internal and external members with high levels of financial and business expertise.
The overall purpose of the Finance Board is to assist the Trustee Board in its duty to supervise the broad direction of IMechE’s financial affairs. Within this broad remit, there are three main areas of accountability:
- Review of the financial plans and performance of the Institution as a whole.
- Oversight of the commercial activities of the Institution.
- Review and direction of investment policy and evaluation and approval of individual investment decisions.
Finance Board Member - Specification
The member will ideally have a combination of the following characteristics and be able to contribute to a non-executive capacity, bringing their fresh, independent perspectives to Board decision-making through:

c) for the Deputy Chair (co-opted Trustee) role, an IMechE member with proven business leadership in the private, public or voluntary sectors, with board-level experience in an organisation of comparable scale and complexity. This would include experience of chairing meetings or committees.
These skills may have been demonstrated through your involvement with a range of organisations (e.g., work, academic, charitable, professional bodies etc.).
It is anticipated that the role of Finance Board Deputy Chair (and co-opted Trustee) will require a time commitment of 3-4 days per month and the Ordinary Member of Finance Board will require a time commitment of 1 – 2 days per month.

The term of the co-option shall last until the Annual Meeting of the Institution in 2025 and may be considered for one further term of co-opted office. A period in office as a co-opted Trustee shall not count towards the eligibility criteria for elected Trustee positions.
3. Applications are open to the full IMechE membership and current members of Council are encouraged to apply. Applications are also open to non-members of IMechE who have relevant skills and experiences.
4. Meetings shall be held a minimum of four times per year on dates proposed by the Chair. Board members may request additional meetings in writing to the Chair if they consider it necessary. Meetings may be held in person or virtually.

About the National RSPCA
Founded in 1824 we have been saving animals for 200 years and are proud to be the oldest welfare charity around. It has always been our vision to live in a world where all animals are respected and treated with compassion, so our volunteers and employees work tirelessly to ensure that all animals can live free from pain and suffering.
