The Lipman-Miliband Trust continues to play a vital role as one of the very few charities able to respond to the needs of those engaged in socialist education. We encourage new work within this broad field, taking into consideration new areas of cultural and political work in institutions of learning but also in community organisations and among NGOs.

Are you interested in working with us to eliminate homelessness in Worcestershire?
We’re seeking an innovative and passionate individual to join our Board of Trustees.
Who are Maggs?
Maggs’ overarching vision and purpose is to work with partners to eliminate long-term rough sleeping in the county, whilst offering homeless and vulnerable people opportunities to thrive and realise their full potential.
The charity began in 1985 through our Worcester Day Centre in Deansway. We have since acquired a second day centre in Malvern and a countywide outreach team that boasts two additional teams: Harm Reduction and an Intensive Transition Team.
We also have our Clothing Project and Accommodation Project, providing 15 housing opportunities for former rough sleepers.
Our goal is not just to support rough sleepers in their situation, but to help them to make the changes necessary for them to change their lifestyle, by dealing with the issues that hold them back, like lack of confidence, substance abuse, or poor health, so that they can access permanent housing and return to a conventional lifestyle off the streets.
The Role:
Our trustees play a vital role in ensuring that Maggs achieves its core purpose. They oversee the overall management and administration of the charity, and Maggs has a clear strategy that aligns with our goals and vision.
Just as importantly, they support and challenge the executive team to enable Maggs to grow and thrive, and through this, work with the homeless and vulnerable to raise self-confidence thereby enabling positive life change.
Board members have a collective responsibility, meaning that trustees always act as a group and not as individuals.
Duties:
· Support and provide advice on Maggs’ purpose, vision, goals and activities.
· Approve operational strategies and policies, and monitor and evaluate their implementation.
· Oversee Maggs’ financial plans and budgets and monitor and evaluate progress.
· Ensure the effective and efficient administration of the organisation.
· Ensure that key risks are being identified, monitored and controlled effectively.
· Review and approve Maggs’ financial statements.
· Provide support and challenge to Maggs’ CEO in the exercise of their delegated authority and affairs.
· Keep abreast of changes in Maggs’ operating environment.
· Contribute to regular reviews of Maggs’ governance by, but not limited to attending Board meetings and being adequately prepared to contribute to discussions.
· Use independent judgment, acting legally and in good faith to promote and protect Maggs’ interests, to the exclusion of their own personal and/or any third-party interests.
· Contribute to the broader promotion of Maggs’ objects, aims and reputation by applying your skills, expertise, knowledge and contacts.
Please note that 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.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
