Trustees

Friends Provident Foundation is looking for new Trustees to help guide our programmes of giving and investment, which aim to build a fair and sustainable economy in the UK. We are working toward this aim through supporting action, building knowledge, and using our endowment as a tool for change.

We are particularly seeking perspectives that may challenge conventional thinking and would like to hear from people with an active interest in how the economy works and who have a drive to shape society.

You will need to be committed to our ambitious mission of using all our assets to bring about the change we wish to see. We are seeking to appoint more than one Trustee and are particularly interested to hear from people with one or more of the following areas of experience: financial management; social investment and/or investment; working in the voluntary sector; Equity Diversity and Inclusion; systems change. You will be willing to apply your skills and experience in regular Trustee meetings, share your insights, be willing to learn from those we work with as well as make a creative contribution as a Trustee. All Trustees work closely with the Foundation’s staff to achieve our objectives and you will need to commit on average one day a month to the Foundation’s business.

We wish to add to the Board from a wide pool of applicants and welcome people of colour, disabled people and those from a working-class background or with experience of poverty or any other disadvantage.

We are seeking diversity of perspective, background, physical abilities, ethnicities and class background and welcome applicants from all age groups and all nations in the UK.

If you are interested in becoming a Trustee of Friends Provident Foundation but anticipate barriers to your participation, we would still like to hear from you. Please get in touch with us to discuss your situation.

Deadline for applications: Tuesday 23 July, 9am
