Trustee recruitment

We're looking for a trustee with experience of civil society organisations committed to economic or social justice.

The ideal candidate would have good insight into the areas we currently fund as part of our 2030 funding strategy, as well as experience of campaigning, research or policy work.

This is a pivotal time to join us at Trust for London, following the launch of our new funding strategy in June 2024.

Trustees play a critical role in to our work. They set the strategy of the organisation and ensure that our endowment is used effectively. Our Board has a range of expertise, is highly collaborative and committed to tackling poverty in London.

We want our Board to reflect London’s diversity, and value lived experience of poverty.

If our work resonates with you, and you have the skills and experience we’re looking for, we’d love to hear from you.
