Join our board as a trustee: help us navigate a path to a sustainable future
Are you passionate about making a difference and equipped with the skills to guide a small charity through challenging times?
CMV Action are seeking proactive and committed trustees to join our board and support us in building a sustainable future.
About CMV Action
CMV Action is the only charity in the UK providing support and information to families affected by congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV). Congenital CMV is the most common viral infection that can affect babies before birth, with potential long-term health impacts such as hearing loss, developmental delays and vision loss. It can also cause miscarriage and stillbirth.
As many as 1 in 200 newborn babies are born with congenital CMV. The majority of these will not have any symptoms. However, around 1 in 1,000 born in the UK every year will have permanent disabilities as a result of congenital CMV – around 900 children every year. As congenital CMV is a relatively unknown condition, it is a common misconception that it is rare. It is in fact more common than Down’s syndrome, Toxoplasmosis, Spina Bifida or Cystic Fibrosis.
What we’re looking for
We welcome application from everyone, and are particularly interested to hear from individuals who share our values and can bring the following skills and experience to our board:
- Proactive and strategic thinkers: You are purposeful about the directions you choose and willing to explore new paths to drive our charity towards self-chosen outcomes.
- Experience in finances, fundraising, marketing or strategy planning: Your expertise in charity finance, fundraising strategy, business development, or organisational change will help us build a sustainable future.
- Collaborative leaders: You excel in building strong relationships and working effectively with a diverse range of people and organisations.
- Evidence-based decision-makers: You value research and expert advice, using robust evidence to guide strategic decisions that achieve the best outcomes.
- Committed to accountability and transparency: You act with integrity, ensuring our charity operates openly and ethically.
- Advocates for inclusivity: You are dedicated to ensuring that our work is accessible and equitable for all, embracing the diverse needs of the community we serve.

Family Thing Dance is a small but growing charity that provides inclusive dance classes for people with learning differences and diverse abilities. We are looking for Trustees to join our Board to offer governance and support to grow the charity.
The dance base is commercial dance and hip-hop. Family Thing's mission is to provide opportunities for empowerment, support and a sense of belonging using dance as a vehicle to reach these aims.
Family Thing is passionate about providing these dance opportunities for everyone. There are many reasons why. Mencap lists the main benefits of taking part in leisure activities as improving physical and mental health, personal social skills, self-worth and confidence, and social attitudes (Mencap, 2019). Yet despite these widely understood benefits, only 16.8% of people with a learning disability take part in a sport or physical activities at least once a week, compared with 39.9% of the general population (Sport England, 2018). Additionally, there is a great deal of evidence that inactivity is a major contributing factor of ill health in people with learning disabilities. Only 9% of participants in a 2016 review met the minimum recommended guidelines for physical activity (Dairo et al, 2016).
We know that organisations like Family Thing play a role in the well-being of people with learning disabilities by providing activities that promote good physical health as well as positive psychological and social stimulation, and offers a way to overcome situations such as loneliness and anxiety. We know that a positive impact of Family Thing is the increase in social engagement and improvements in physical and mental well-being for those who participate in our classes.
Activities: Family Thing offers free or subsidised, supportive, fun and creative dance classes to diverse groups of children, young people and adults. During each session, dancers are invited to create their own ‘dance hero persona’, and have opportunities to express themselves as individuals with the support of the group. There is a focus on strengthening their sense of community through the concept of “supporting your crew”. As defined by those who attend the groups, the overall aim is to create a “big family” that’ll dance altogether basically!
What are we looking for?
At this particular time we are keen to find people with a financial services background and someone who may be willing to take on the role of Treasurer in due course and/or someone with marketing skills, including digital marketing.
Experience
- Experience of the dance community (desirable but not essential)

- Leadership experience (desirable but not essential)
- Experience of delivering strategic organisational change (desirable but not essential)
