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.

Use your skills and expertise to support All We Can as a trustee and you will be working to end poverty and injustice around the world and help vulnerable communities fulfil their potential.

What will you be doing?

As a Trustee, you will:

Attend four in-person board meetings a year; with three of them in Central London and one overnight (Sunday-Monday) in October in a different location.
Attend online committee meetings preceding the board meetings.
Prepare for and contribute to these meetings in a meaningful way and displaying our values of Love, Collaboration and Integrity.
Support us in building relationships with potential donors and other networks aligned with our vision and mission.
Support and participate in fundraising events where appropriate.
Engage with the wider team, e.g. through attending an online team meeting, and build relationships relevant to the trustee role.
Contribute to the work of the board and support the organisation in your area of expertise, like Disaster Risk Reduction, locally-led approaches; finance and operations: audit, charity and company law regulations; digital transformation & IT; people: EDI and health safety.

What are we looking for?

To be an effective trustee, you will need to:

Understand good governance practice in the UK charity sector and apply it to our work and your role; we can also provide training if this would be a barrier to applying.
Apply in practice relational and partnership-based approach in the wider role of trustee.
Have practical understanding of decolonisation of aid.
Demonstrate how you intend to embody our values (love, collaboration, and integrity) and our partnership-based approach.
Be supportive of working in a Christian faith-based environment, (you do not need to be a Christian.)
Have experience in the charity sector (social justice or international development would be especially helpful)
Have significant experience in one or more of these areas of expertise:
- Disaster Risk Reduction, locally-led approaches;
- Finance and operations: audit, charity and company law regulations;
- Digital transformation & IT;
- People: EDI;
- Health and safety

What difference will you make?

As part of the Board of Trustee’s, you will help govern All We Can in line with its charitable objectives and to maintain oversight of the organisation’s financial affairs on behalf of the Board. You will work with other trustees and the chair across all board’s areas of responsibility. And specifically, as a trustee with experience in your area of expertise, you will lend it and your support the CEO and the Core Leadership Team in enhancing our work in that area.

We’re currently preparing for an ambitious five-year strategic plan covering 2025 - 2030, and to support this, the organisation’s fundraising requires strengthening, needing to be highly effective and far-sighted in outlook and to provide the right balance between challenge, championing and support.
