The Survivors Trust is keen to find someone with a finance background to join our active and highly motivated Trustee Board.We really welcome the insight and drive that survivors can bring to our work and are keen to promote diversity on the Board.
The Survivors Trust is a national membership organisation for specialist voluntary sector rape and sexual abuse support services in the UK and Ireland. We have 120+ member agencies who are all independent charities providing a range of counselling, support and advocacy services for women, men, children and young people, partners and family members who have been affected by sexual violence of any kind at any time in their lives.
The impact of sexual violence of any form, whether experienced as an adult or as a child, can be devastating and can last a lifetime. Survivors may experience a wide range of physical and mental health problems as a result of being sexually violated, affecting every aspect of their health, lives, relationships, education and work. We aim to raise awareness of the support survivors need and the work of our Member Agencies in providing this crucial help.
TST is in the unique position of having member agencies that are working with all victims and survivors of sexual violence and sexual abuse. We are well aware of the issues facing organisations that are delivering trauma informed services and can support them and policy makers and commissioners to understand how services need to be developed and provided. TST is an independent inspection body for our UKAS accredited service standards for specialist sexual violence organisations.
We provide an accredited Diploma for Independent Sexual Violence Advisors (ISVAs) and CPD accredited workshops. We have also established a quality mark for educational establishments and corporate organisations, our Trauma Informed Educator and Trauma Informed Employer Quality Marks (TIE).
The right candidate will need to make a pesonal commitment to our work and to support our vision and values with compassion and empathy. They will need to be willing to work with the other Trustees, the Chief Executive and staff team, acting as an ambassador for TST and helping to support our collaboration with partners and secure funds to deliver our objectives.
Our vision is for a society where services for all survivors are trauma-informed and accessible according to need.

Do you have a vision for the future of animal welfare in Glasgow? Do you want to be a key member of an intersectional and inclusive movement to improve the lives of Scotland’s pets and people?
If so, we’re looking for you!
Glasgow Pet Collective
Glasgow Pet Collective is here for Glasgow’s pets and their people. We will advocate for, protect, and create Glasgow’s pet families, championing their wellbeing and maintaining the human-animal bond. We envision a Glasgow where every pet and their human companion thrive together in a nurturing and inclusive community, championing the joy of companionship and mutual care. More info on GPC programs can be viewed at the bottom of this document.
We are looking for 2 dedicated Trustees to support GPC’s mission and help support humans and pets in a holistic, inclusive, and compassionate way.
The Role
GPC’s trustees will play a vital role in making sure the organisation achieves its core purposes of promoting the welfare and rehoming of companion animals, advancing animal welfare equity, relieving hardships faced by pets and their owners, lobbying for improved animal welfare legislation, fostering knowledge sharing, and building a supportive community for pet guardians in the Greater Glasgow Area.
Trustees oversee the overall management and administration of the charity. They also ensure that GPC has a clear strategy and that our work and goals are in line with our vision. Just as importantly, they support and challenge the executive team to enable GPC to grow and thrive, and through this, fulfil our objectives and realise the organisation’s mission.
Board members have a collective responsibility. This means that trustees always act as a group.
Duties
-
Support and provide advice on GPC’s purpose, vision, goals and activities.
-
Approve operational strategies and policies, and monitor and evaluate their implementation.
-
Oversee GPC’s financial plans and budgets and monitor and evaluate progress.

Actively promote and uphold principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion within the organisation. This includes confronting and addressing personal biases related to class, race, disability, or any other identifying characteristics. Trustees should advocate for and implement intersectional approaches in all aspects of the organisation's work, ensuring that all community members feel respected and valued.
As a small charity, there will be times when the trustees will need to be actively involved beyond Board meetings. This may involve scrutinising board papers, leading discussions, focusing on key issues, providing advice and guidance on new initiatives, presenting externally, or other issues in which the trustee has special expertise.
Who We Are Looking For
We are seeking individuals who bring energy, enthusiasm, and commitment to the role and who will enhance the diversity of thought on our board. Experience in pet welfare and animal advocacy, veterinary sciences, community groups, finance, or fundraising is highly valued but not essential.

Local Welcome makes it fun and easy for people to cook and eat with refugees in their community.
We’re looking for a new Chair of Trustees to help steer us through a time of challenge and opportunity, as we simultaneously navigate the changing landscape of refugee support in the UK, and manage strategic changes in the charity’s financial model and service delivery.
You’ll be joining a friendly board with 3-5 other trustees with different backgrounds, expertise and experience. Some on the board have been with us from our early days, and others are more recent appointments. Two board members are Local Welcome leaders themselves. A key area of focus will be to help lead the organisation through the change management process mentioned above.
Our ultimate goal is to be a 100% membership-funded organisation. Our current strategy paves our way to achieve this once we’ve scaled from 7 groups to 50.
We have a small, committed team of 3 members of staff, and 1 freelancer, co-led by our Finance Manager and Product and Operations Manager. Both members of the management team have worked at Local Welcome for over 6 years. We’re really proud of our team and what they’ve achieved so far, and we’re excited about what the future holds for us.
