Thank you for your interest in a Board Trustee role with Walk Wheel Cycle Trust. Could you play a part in what comes next for us, and share our passion for the journey ahead?

As Walk Wheel Cycle Trust, we are stepping confidently into the future and building on nearly 50 years of impact as Sustrans, an organisation that helped pioneer the UK’s sustainable travel movement. From the creation of the Bristol-Bath path to the National Cycle Network, School Streets and beyond, our legacy is one of bold ideas, practical delivery, and lasting change.

Now, with a new name and renewed purpose, we’re more ambitious than ever. Our purpose is simple: To make it possible for everyone to walk, wheel and cycle, because it changes everything. Our health. Our wellbeing. Our world.

This is an exciting time for Walk Wheel Cycle Trust. We have launched a new 5-year strategy and placed the charity on a financially sustainable footing. And looking ahead to 2050, our aims for the National Cycle Network are bold:

• Fix it – A seamless, safe and stunning national network.
• Love it – A network embraced by local communities.
• Green it – One that restores nature and connects us to it.
• Connect it – Linking people, places and transport options.

We are building a people-powered movement; one that empowers millions, makes active travel a right not a privilege, and inspires unstoppable political will.

We are now seeking two new Trustees to join our Board at this pivotal time. In addition to working at Board level, you will have substantial experience in at least ONE of the following three areas:

• Post-strategy implementation / organisational effectiveness
• Sustainable travel / Walking, wheeling, cycling / public transport
• Fundraising / philanthropic giving / income generation

Walk Wheel Cycle Trust has recently completed a full-scale rebrand, and this is an exciting opportunity to join us during a time of growth and transformation. You’ll be part of the Brand and Marketing team, working within the Policy and Communications department.
