We’re Recruiting New Trustees Ahead of Our 40th Anniversary
We are delighted to launch our latest Trustee recruitment campaign, inviting passionate and skilled individuals to join our Board as we approach our 40th anniversary in 2026.
This is an exciting and important moment for us. As we continue to grow, deepen our restorative approach, and strengthen our impact, we are looking for new trustees who can help shape the next chapter of our journey with clarity, courage and compassion.
A pivotal moment in our journey
We are proud to support around 2,000 people each year across Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Herefordshire, Telford and Shropshire. Our work spans criminal justice, children and family services, and supporting people facing multiple disadvantage.
We are often described as the “glue” between individuals at risk of isolation and the communities around them. As we look ahead, we are focused on strengthening our trauma-informed, person-centred approach and increasing our influence on how systems respond to the people we walk alongside.
Help us shape the future
As a trustee, you will play a vital role in guiding our organisation through this next phase. You will help shape our strategic direction, ensure strong governance and financial sustainability, and act as an ambassador for our values and approach.
You will also contribute to wider system change — helping to influence policy and practice so that services move away from crisis-driven responses towards long-term, restorative support.
The skills and experience we’re looking for
We are recruiting trustees with a range of skills and expertise, including:
- Safeguarding
- Criminal justice
- Legal and governance
- Fundraising and donor development
- Digital transformation and cyber security
- Regional knowledge, particularly in Shropshire and Telford
Just as importantly, we are looking for people who share our belief in dignity, equity and human potential.
We strongly encourage applications from people with lived experience of justice or care systems, individuals from underrepresented communities, disabled people, LGBTQ+ individuals, and younger professionals seeking their first trustee role. Previous board experience is welcome but not essential.
A flexible role with real impact
The trustee role is voluntary, with a time commitment of approximately one day per month. This includes six board meetings per year, strategy days, and occasional events. Reasonable expenses are reimbursed.
How to apply
The deadline for applications is 12 April 2026.
To apply, please refer to our Trustee Recruitment Pack 2026 v.4
This is a meaningful opportunity to help us create a society where every person has the confidence, support and freedom to shape the future they choose.
We would love to hear from you.
