Young Trustee

Are you passionate about making a difference in the lives of children and young people?  Do you want to be a part of a charity that supports grieving children and young people, helping them navigate one of life’s toughest challenges?  Winston’s Wish is looking for dedicated young people aged under 30 to join our board of trustees.

Why Join Us?

As a young trustee at Winston’s Wish, you will have the opportunity to:

• Contribute:  Bring your unique perspective and ideas to help guide the future of our charity.

• Make an Impact:  Play a key role in shaping the support we provide to children and families coping with bereavement.

What We’re Looking For:

You don’t need to be an expert in charity governance—we’re looking for people who are passionate, committed, and willing to learn. Whether you have experience in a related field, or you simply have a strong desire to help children and families in need, we want to hear from you.

We particularly want to hear from you if you identify as:

A person of colour (racially minoritized/racially diverse)

Live with a disability or condition affecting daily life.

Come from a disadvantaged background.

What You’ll Gain:

Experience in Charity Governance: Develop your understanding of how charities are run and the impact they have.
