Thank you for your interest in a Board Trustee role with Walk Wheel Cycle Trust. Could you play a part in what comes next for us, and share our passion for the journey ahead?

As Walk Wheel Cycle Trust, we are stepping confidently into the future and building on nearly 50 years of impact as Sustrans, an organisation that helped pioneer the UK’s sustainable travel movement. From the creation of the Bristol-Bath path to the National Cycle Network, School Streets and beyond, our legacy is one of bold ideas, practical delivery, and lasting change.

Now, with a new name and renewed purpose, we’re more ambitious than ever. Our purpose is simple: To make it possible for everyone to walk, wheel and cycle, because it changes everything. Our health. Our wellbeing. Our world.

This is an exciting time for Walk Wheel Cycle Trust. We have launched a new 5-year strategy and placed the charity on a financially sustainable footing. And looking ahead to 2050, our aims for the National Cycle Network are bold:

• Fix it – A seamless, safe and stunning national network.
• Love it – A network embraced by local communities.
• Green it – One that restores nature and connects us to it.
• Connect it – Linking people, places and transport options.

We are building a people-powered movement; one that empowers millions, makes active travel a right not a privilege, and inspires unstoppable political will.

We are now seeking two new Trustees to join our Board at this pivotal time. In addition to working at Board level, you will have substantial experience in at least ONE of the following three areas:

• Post-strategy implementation / organisational effectiveness
• Sustainable travel / Walking, wheeling, cycling / public transport
• Fundraising / philanthropic giving / income generation

Do you believe education is key to transforming lives and communities? Would you like to be part of reimagining education for millions of children? This is your chance to work at the heart of our mission: supporting changemakers across India and South Africa to unlock life-changing learning for every child.

The Maitri Trust is looking for an experienced Grant Portfolio Manager to join our Programmes team. We're seeking someone who believes in the power of strategic philanthropy to identify and scale impactful primary education solutions that have the potential to reach millions of children.

You will manage a dynamic and diverse portfolio of grants across both countries, provide strategic guidance and capacity building support to help our partners grow and scale their impact, and lead the process of identifying new partners through open calls. You'll travel to visit partners and projects and build deep relationships with inspiring people and organisations working to ensure every child can learn, grow and thrive.

PURPOSE OF THE ROLE:

The Grant Portfolio Manager plays a central role in ensuring the Maitri Trust’s grantmaking delivers maximum impact. You will manage and support a diverse portfolio of strategically aligned partners, building close and flexible relationships to strengthen capacity, track progress, and respond to challenges as they arise. Alongside this, you will co-lead on the design, delivery, and onboarding of new partners through open calls helping to identify impactful and scalable initiatives. Working closely with colleagues across the team, you will help ensure that evidence from the portfolio drives learning, decision-making, and strategic alignment.
