Join Carers Together as a Trustee

Are you passionate about supporting unpaid carers and helping shape the future of a carer-led charity?

Carers Together is a well-established, carer-led organisation committed to improving the quality of life for unpaid carers. We provide trusted information, expert support, meaningful engagement and strong community connections. Everything we do is rooted in listening to carers, empowering them, and championing their rights.

We are now inviting applications from committed individuals to join our Board of Trustees. As a Trustee, you will provide strategic leadership and governance in line with our mission and values, ensure legal and financial compliance, and help shape the long-term direction of the organisation. You may also act as an ambassador for carers and for Carers Together across the community.

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds. Lived experience of caring is particularly valued, alongside skills or expertise in areas such as governance, finance, fundraising, digital strategy, communications or community partnership working.

This is an unpaid voluntary role, with reasonable expenses reimbursed in line with policy. Board meetings are held on the first Monday of each month at 10am, except January, with an annual conference held in June.

Hope for Rural People (HfRP) is a small, volunteer-led charitable organization committed to improving the lives of vulnerable and marginalized communities in rural areas of Scotland and Bangladesh. Our work focuses on food aid, education, refugee support, sustainable agriculture, and women’s empowerment.

We are seeking dedicated and passionate Trustees to join our Board and help shape the future of HfRP. This is a wonderful opportunity for individuals who want to make a real difference by contributing their time, expertise, and strategic insight to a growing organization.

We particularly welcome applicants with experience in nonprofit management, fundraising, communications, finance, governance, or community development.

At present, this is a voluntary position, as the organization is in its early development stage. Trustees may receive remuneration or honorarium in the future as HfRP grows and secures funding.

Scottish Book Trust is Scotland’s national reading charity. We believe that reading and writing for pleasure can transform lives – supporting mental health, breaking the poverty cycle, improving employability and inspiring creativity. Every year, our programmes reach over three million people across Scotland, from babies receiving their first Bookbug bag to adults discovering the joy of storytelling.

You'll find us in schools, libraries and community spaces across Scotland – in towns, cities and in isolated rural communities. We bring books to life for children in care, families experiencing hardship, people in prison and anyone who may not otherwise have access to the joy of reading. In short, we go wherever we’re needed most.

We are looking for up to three new Trustees to join our Board and help guide this work. Trustees play a vital role in shaping our strategy, ensuring good governance, and championing our mission to make books and stories accessible to everyone.

We want a Board that better reflects the diversity of the communities we serve. We particularly encourage applications from people who are currently underrepresented on our Board, including people from minority ethnic communities, disabled people, LGBTQ+ people, and people with lived experience of poverty or marginalisation. We also welcome younger voices and first-time Trustees, and we provide training, mentoring and ongoing support.

We’re interested in your values, your ideas and your lived experience, as well as any professional skills you may bring.

Experience in any of the following areas would be helpful (but not essential), and you do not need to meet all of these:

• Strategic thinking and leadership
• Advocacy or influencing decision-makers
• Education, culture or community engagement
• Finance, audit or risk management
• Fundraising or financial planning
• Working with the Scottish Government or local authorities

The Volunteer & Programmes Co-ordinator will help with the day-to-day coordination of those who generously share their time and talent with Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity, helping ensure their experience is well-organised and supported.

You’ll work closely with the Volunteer Manager and Charity Impact Team to keep our volunteer programme running smoothly - supporting fundraising events, hospital-based roles and more.

Are you passionate about building meaningful relationships and creating lasting impact through philanthropy? The University of Strathclyde is seeking a dynamic and experienced Donor Experience and Legacies Officer to lead stewardship and engagement for our major donors, scholarship supporters, and legacy pledgers.

This is a unique opportunity to shape donor journeys across multiple giving areas - from transformative scholarships and legacy gifts to major donations supporting research and teaching. You’ll work closely with inspiring students, academics, and colleagues across the University to deliver compelling donor communications, events, and impact reports that celebrate generosity and deepen engagement.

If you’re a creative communicator, strategic thinker, and relationship builder with a flair for storytelling and donor cultivation, we’d love to hear from you.
