Crossroads was founded in 1968, with the declaration that everyone should have the right to ‘live gloriously’. This meant two things: tackling whatever in society gets in the way of a fulfilling life, and nurturing and strengthening people’s confidence and resilience. Based at the Barn in Gorbals, we work with young people, families, and individuals, and work on issues of disability, mental health, migration, housing conditions and much more. Wherever possible we work to bring people together to share experiences, decide together and act together.

Our Board of Trustees is rooted in the community, and elected by members of the Association.

This is a significant and rewarding opportunity to contribute to the governance and strategic direction of an international, ecumenical Christian movement rooted in hope and lived in community.

Directors of the Iona Community are also charity Trustees. Together, Council members hold collective responsibility for the governance, strategy and overall stewardship of the Community, ensuring that our work is faithful to our vision, values and charitable purposes.

Trustees are encouraged to bring both professional expertise and a willingness to engage deeply with the life, faith and common task of the Community.

Time commitment

Council meets five times per year:

• Four meetings online (approximately two hours each)
• One in-person meeting over two days

Some Trustees also serve on committees or hold specific liaison roles, which involve additional meetings (usually online) and preparation time. All Trustees are expected to read papers in advance and to engage thoughtfully in decision-making.

A comprehensive induction programme and trustee training will be provided.

Remuneration

This is a voluntary role. Reasonable expenses are reimbursed in line with Iona Community policy.

Appointment and term of office

Trustees are normally appointed for a four-year term, with the possibility of re-appointment for one further term. Appointments are ratified by the membership of the Iona Community at the AGM.
