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. These local roots have been essential to the survival of the organisation for over 50 years, against a background that has not always been friendly towards local action or challenges to authority. The survival has also depended on the essential advice and support of legal, financial and organisational talents both within the organisation and from supporters, so that we can demonstrate our integrity and responsibility.

We are looking to increase the strength and breadth of memebrship of our Board of Trustees / Directors and are keen to bring new members on Board. We would particularly welcome interest from younger people, minorities, and those with professional and life experiences we can draw on.

The Iona Community is seeking to appoint up to three new Directors (Trustees) to join our Council from the 2026 AGM.

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.

About the role

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. This role is one of strategic oversight, not day-to-day operational management, which is carried out by employed staff.

Trustees are expected to act with care and diligence, to safeguard the ethos and reputation of the Iona Community, and to help ensure that we remain legally, financially and spiritually sustainable for the future.

Who we are looking for

We are keen to hear from people who are aligned with the vision, purpose and values of the Iona Community and who can contribute thoughtfully and constructively to Council discussions.

Applicants may be Members, Associate Members, Friends of the Iona Community, or people from beyond the membership. We are particularly mindful of the need for a diverse mix of skills, backgrounds, perspectives and life experience on Council, and welcome applications from people who may not have previous trustee experience.

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.

We have three vacancies, with appointments taking effect from the AGM on Monday 29 June 2026.

For over 200 years, Right There has been at the forefront of supporting people and communities across Scotland. Each year, we work alongside almost 4,000 children, families and individuals affected by poverty, homelessness, addiction and fractured relationships.

Every journey is different, so we tailor our response to the individual, challenge stereotypes and work without judgement.

As Chair, you will play a central role in supporting a highly motivated and passionate Board of Trustees and senior leadership team to safeguard the organisation’s vision, strengthen its impact, and ensure it thrives for the future.
