Opportunities

White Ribbon UK Trustee  

Join White Ribbon UK as a Trustee and help us end men’s violence against women. We are looking for someone who can bring experience, insight, and commitment to our board. 

About White Ribbon UK 

White Ribbon UK is the leading charity in England and Wales working to engage men and boys in ending men’s violence against women and girls. We do this by challenging harmful attitudes, behaviours, and systems that allow gender-based violence to continue. We encourage men and boys to take responsibility and become allies in creating a safer, more equal society. 

About the Role 

As a trustee, you will help guide the charity’s work and make sure we stay true to our mission. You will work with other trustees and the CEO to oversee strategy, finances, and risk, and ensure the charity is well run and sustainable. This is a voluntary role; reasonable expenses will be reimbursed. 

What You’ll Do 

  • Attend six board meetings a year (mostly online) and read papers in advance. 

  • Help set the charity’s strategy and monitor progress. 

  • Support and challenge the CEO and senior team. 

  • Uphold our values and commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion. 

Time Commitment 

Around one day per month, including meetings and preparation.  

Who We’re Looking For 

We are in a period of growth, expansion and change.  So we are looking for people with  previous experience serving on a charity trustee board, with an understanding of small charities, who are keen to help us grow and an understanding that we will need to take some risks. We are looking for someone who understands charity governance and can bring skills in areas such as influencing policy makers, campaigning, fundraising, finance, and general governance.  You must share our commitment to ending men’s violence against women, social justice and gender equality and be willing to give your time and energy to help us achieve our goals. 

Why Join Us?
