Hey, we’re ProjectChange, and we’re looking for new trustees.

We want cool people—show us your cool or tell us you’re cool. Whether you’re an experienced trustee looking for a fresh challenge or someone curious about what this whole “trustee” thing is about, we’d love to hear from you.

You don’t need to be an expert or have loads of experience—just some passion and the willingness to show up.

Who Are We?

We’re unserious people doing serious things. ProjectChange is a small charity created by care experienced people, for care experienced people. We spend a lot of our time answering two things, how can we help people talk and how can we make people listen. For almost five years, we’ve been working with our community, (friendly) challenging systems across Scotland, and creating spaces where everyone feels like they belong.

We believe in the power of care experienced people leading change—and if you do too, you might just belong on our board.

What Do our Trustees Do?

Trustees help steer the charity, keeping it on track and making the big decisions. Here’s what it looks like in practice:

• 4–6 meetings a year, mostly on Zoom, so you can join from your couch.

• A chance to share your ideas and experiences to help shape our future.

• Working with a passionate team to make sure care experienced voices lead the way.

If you’re an experienced trustee, you’ll get the chance to take on something bold and different. If you’ve never done it before, don’t worry—we’ll guide you through and make sure you feel comfortable every step of the way. Whether it’s your first trustee role or your fifteenth, you’ll be part of something meaningful and exciting.

What’s the Process?

No long applications, no CVs. Just:

• Write something short (400 words max) OR

• Send a quick video (2–3 minutes)

Answering these two questions:

1. What change would you like to see for care experienced people, and how do you think we can get there?

2. Why do you want to join our board?

We’ll chat with everyone who applies. No stress, just a conversation about what excites you
