Welcome to Reach Volunteering. We are a community and registered charity that connects people, skills and good causes.

To apply for this role, and any other on our platform, you need to be based in the UK, have at least three years of experience using the skills you wish to volunteer in a professional capacity or have lived experience (for trustee roles). Read more about our criteria.

1927 is a small but mighty National Portfolio Organisation. From creating animated theatre, opera, and radio, delivering workshops in schools and prisons, making a video for Ozzy Osbourne, and content for AMC's Interview with the Vampire.

What will you be doing?

1927 has a dedicated board of trustees who cover a spectrum of different skill sets and we are looking to expand this.

We're particularly keen to hear from people with experience in Fundraising, Commercial IP, the Criminal Justice system and the Arts - in particular those with experience of working with families and in rehabilitation. We're also keen to hear from potential Kent based Trustees.

1927 is very keen to broaden the diversity of its board. We value the differences that people bring from all backgrounds, communities and experiences to support the work of the company and its future development.

Trustees are required to attend four board meetings (which are usually held in London on a Thursday evening) and one away day a year and will also be expected to contribute on an ad hoc basis, though this would not normally be a burdensome time commitment.

What are we looking for?

We're particularly keen to hear from people with experience in Fundraising, Commercial IP, the Criminal Justice system and the Arts - in particular those with experience of working with families and in rehabilitation. We're also keen to hear from potential Kent based Trustees.

What difference will you make?

1927’s trustees play a vital role in shaping the company’s future, offering strategic guidance and ensuring our continued success. By bringing together diverse perspectives and skill sets, our Trustees help us to build a more resilient, inclusive and forward-thinking organisation that can thrive creatively and sustainably.
