About Us
Tiny Changes is Scotland’s first national young people’s mental health charity. We co-produce and run projects with young leaders that help young minds feel better. The charity was set up originally by the family of Frightened Rabbit frontman Scott Hutchison, who took his own life in 2018.

We exist to nurture the talent of young people to find creative solutions that work for them.

This is an exciting leadership opportunity to join a small Scottish charity and help improve its income and impact.
About You
You have knowledge and experience to bring to the Tiny Changes Board that you are confident will improve the sustainability and strategic direction of this small charity. You know the difference between governance and operations, and how to make the most of the relatively small amount of time you likely have to offer as a voluntary trustee. You have a can-do attitude and one of your strengths is that you know which questions to ask, and what level of risk to take with decisions and finances, at the right time.
