We are partnering Music Therapy Works (MTW) an independent charity based in the West Midlands, whose mission is to deliver comprehensive music therapy services for individuals, groups and communities in a wide range of circumstances.
MTW provides music therapy to support and enhance communication, self-expression, and wellbeing. They work in a variety of settings including schools, hospitals, care homes and hospices to help people whose lives have been affected by injury, illness or disability through supporting their psychological, emotional, cognitive, physical, communicative and social needs.
We are seeking a new Trustee for MTW to join their current board and support the CEO to bring new insight and skills to set and approve the strategic direction of the charity.
What is a Trustee?
- Being a trustee means making decisions that will impact people’s lives and make a real difference to our community.
- Trustees are the people who lead the charity and decide how it is run. They play a vital role in helping to define and develop the work of the charity.
- Trustees work alongside the management team, using their skills and experience to help the charity to define and achieve its strategic aims. But they do not undertake the day-to-day work of running the organisation.
- Trustees are also Directors of MTW as it is both a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee.
- Trustees give their time on a voluntary basis. They are not paid fees, but they can claim reasonable expenses.
What do you get out of being a MTW Trustee?
- Being a Trustee is a great way to ‘give something back’ while developing your skills in leadership, influencing, debating, negotiating, strategic and organisational planning.
- You will have the opportunity to meet, network and learn from people who may have very different professional backgrounds and life experiences to your own.
- Providing opportunities for training and development, every new trustee is assigned a Board buddy to help them to feel part of the team.
MTW want their Board to reflect the diverse community that MTW supports. We would particularly like to hear from you if you reflect MTW’s beneficiaries. For example: are you a disabled person? Do you have mental health needs? Are you a parent or teacher of a young disabled person, or a young person with mental health needs? Are you part of an adoptive family or do you work with children in care? Are you a carer for a person with dementia?
Whether you’re an experienced trustee or wanting to take up your first position at board level, we really want to hear from you! It is not necessary for you to have previous experience as a Trustee - training will be provided.
For more information, please contact Sandra Smith, Associate Director, Charisma Charity Recruitment. Your application should be submitted through the Charisma website and include your CV and supporting statement.
We welcome and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds. We do not discriminate on the basis of disability, race, colour, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, age, veteran status or other category protected by law.
Closing date for applications: 11 November 2024
Interview date: TBC

Join the board of Christian Aid, a global movement of people, churches, and local organisations. We are the changemakers, the peacemakers, and the mighty of heart.
- Location: Christian Aid, 35-41 Lower Marsh, London SE1 7RL
- Time commitment: Circa 1-2 days a month
- Closing date: Monday 23rd September
Who we are.
Christian Aid has a vision – an end to poverty – and we believe that vision can become a reality. For over 75 years, we’ve fought poverty and turned hope into action. Although founded by the church and rooted in Christianity, we’ve always helped those in need, regardless of religion, ethnicity or nationality.
For over 75 years, we’ve worked with local partners and communities to alleviate poverty, fight injustice, respond to humanitarian emergencies, campaign for change, and help people claim the services and rights they are entitled to. We work with some of the world’s most vulnerable communities in 29 countries in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Europe and Latin America and the Caribbean.
In 2022/23, we funded 275 projects in 14 countries, worked directly with 2.9 million people and indirectly with over 17 million people, and raised a total of £90.6 million, of which £47 million was used for humanitarian programming and £27.9 million for development programmes.
There is more to do. It is a challenging time globally and we are responding everyday with pace and innovation. More than 75 years on from our foundation following the Second World War, we have again faced a huge, forced movement of people in Europe, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. We have rapidly mobilised fundraising and programme response, which has allowed us to work effectively with our partners across Ukraine and neighbouring countries.
We are living in a period when inequalities are widening, conflict and violence are leading to violations of rights, and environmental destruction threatens our homes. There is an urgent need to rethink our approaches to poverty, this demands deep structural change, but also a real change in ourselves as an organisation. Although we have experienced a decrease in institutional funding, the issues we work on are urgent, and the pressures facing our sector can be a challenge. But we have experienced gradual recovery of voluntary income, and there is more we can do. This gives us the space to continue to be strategic about rebuilding our institutional income and grow our programmatic work worldwide which includes emergency response, peace-building, health, land rights, tax justice, accelerating localisation through partnership, gender equality and helping communities adapt to climate change.
Who we are looking for.
We are looking to appoint four new Trustees who are passionate about the work of Christian Aid and have a personal commitment to our values. Trustees are responsible for setting the strategy, ensuring good governance, and determining our vision. Our trustees offer senior expertise, support and challenge to one another and our team whilst being critical collaborators and, at times, acting as a sounding board.
In this recruitment round, we are looking for up to four people to join our board. We are looking for two trustees with professional expertise in the following areas:
- Finance
- Fundraising or income generation
We want to welcome a Trustee onto the Board who brings experience and knowledge of fundraising and/or income generation and developing new ways of growing organisations. An ideal candidate may have a background in various sectors including, but not limited to, B2C Marketing, CSR, commercial and business, banking, investments, financial services, or someone with senior leadership and fundraising experience in the charity sector. This person can support us as we grow our income and focus our approach to development and engagement with our donor base.
We are looking to appoint a trustee who is a senior, financially qualified individual. We seek a commercial, strategic, visionary leader who can support and challenge us and has senior leadership experience, for example, as a CFO. With a new Finance and Corporate Governance Director and a period of change and development, we are excited to welcome new Trustees to the board who can bring their skills and experience to support us.
We are also looking for two additional trustees to join our Board. We would particularly welcome trustees with experience and skills in one or more of the following areas:
- Experience of living and/or working in the geographical areas we work in (Africa, Latin-American and the Caribbean, Asia and the Middle East)
- Humanitarian and development work
- Marketing and digital experience
- Youth engagement
- Pentecostal or Orthodox Christian denominations
The Board meets 4 times a year, which includes 2 residentials. The residentials usually require an overnight stay, and one may be outside of Central London. Our board meets annually for our AGM. All dates are decided in advance and planned for the year. Both the Finance and Fundraising Trustees will join our Finance, Fundraising and Investment Committee, which meets 4 times a year, usually virtually for 2-3 hours.
We expect the time commitment to be circa 1-2 days a month which varies throughout the year and is inclusive of attendance at Board meetings, membership of one or more committees, preparation for board meetings as well as ad hoc conversations with Board members or senior staff between formal meetings and attendance at events throughout the year. In addition, it has proved valuable for trustees to travel overseas occasionally to visit partners and see Christian Aid’s work at first hand. The term is initially 4 years which can be renewed. The successful individuals’ appointments will be ratified later this year.
Board members are expected to be active Christians to help lead, direct and develop Christian Aid. We value and encourage diversity of the Board and welcome people from all sections of the Christian community. We are also open to this person being based internationally or in the UK.
We are especially keen to invite applications from candidates with current lived experience in the Global South and candidates who will help to ensure that the Board is diverse.
Please click 'Apply via website’ to be redirected to the Peridot Partners website, where you can find full details of the candidate profile and register your interest to apply.
Applications for this role close on Monday 23rd September.

Silver City Surfers (SCS) is a local charity which has been operating since 2005 providing people with the opportunity to learn basic computing skills, including use of email and the internet. Increasingly, we are helping our learners to make the most of smart phones and tablets.
We are currently looking to recruit new Trustees to join our Board so we can continue to support older people to ensure that they are not left behind by the advances in technology. You don’t need specific skills, just a willingness to help our charity continue to provide a lifeline for older people. Training can be provided.
Trustees meet 1x per month to make sure that the organisation is running well and that our plans are properly implemented. They form the Management committee of the charity and have responsibility for making sure that SCS is doing what it is set up to do. We are fortunate to have amazing coordinators who are responsible for the day to day running of our sessions and recruiting and supporting our volunteers.
