About the role
As a Governor, you will play a vital role in shaping the future of Cripplegate Foundation and Islington Giving. You’ll be part of a committed board that works together to set our strategic direction, ensure we are making the greatest possible impact, and holding us accountable to the communities we serve. This includes making decisions on how our resources are invested and distributed, helping us to raise awareness of the issues facing local people, and supporting our work to reduce poverty and inequality across Islington.
You’ll bring your own experiences, perspectives, and skills to the table, helping us to better reflect and understand the diversity of the borough. In practice, this means contributing to board meetings, engaging in thoughtful discussions, and approving grants and budgets, while also supporting the staff team with insight and challenge. Alongside your fellow Governors, you will help us navigate change, maximise opportunities and resources, and remain true to our vision and mission.
