About the role
London Catalyst was established in 1873 to help the ‘sick and poor of London’ . It is a charity that provides grants to support community health projects and to assist people in financial need. We are currently looking for two new trustees to join a friendly and supportive group of people committed to tackling poverty and health inequalities in London.
Our trustees are keen to maintain a diverse Board that understands the lives of the communities we support through our grant making. We are seeking trustees with knowledge and experience of financial investment, marketing, or social media/communications. You don’t need previous charity experience, we can help with training and there is the option of buddying up with a trustee. We welcome applications from all interested candidates, and further encourage applications from Black, minority ethnic or refugee communities and people with disability who are currently under-represented on the Board.
Along with fellow trustees, you will share responsibility for overseeing the charity and setting strategy. The Board meets four times a year, late afternoon., at our office at Waterloo, or via video conferencing. Trustees also serve on sub committees for Grants and Finance. Visits to projects, often shared with other trustees, are encouraged to help a better understanding of the groups we fund.
