As we prepare for this year’s AGM, we’re reminded of the invaluable role our Trustees play. You can read more about the people on our current Board under “our people” on our website. Over the last five years, we have also completed and published a diversity audit of our Board. We’re committed to being open about our journey to ensure we are representative of the people we serve, and this year’s audit report is available here. As part of the report, we’ve highlighted gaps in the current representation among our Board – both in terms of the diversity of our membership, and the diversity of our communities.
If you’re interested in becoming a Trustee, we’d love to hear from you. We are particularly keen to hear from people who can help us address the gaps in the Board’s current representation. For example, our latest audit showed that we lack representation from hyper-local and sub-regional funders. None of our current trustees have a disability, and we don't represent London's ethnic diversity. Please have a look at our audit results for more information and the areas we’d like to better reflect on the Board.
You can find more information about the role in our summary sheet here.
We’d be happy to provide further information, or we can an arrange a call with existing trustee so you can hear first hand about what it’s like to be part of the Board. All you need to do to apply is to ask another London Funder member to nominate you using this form, and return it to us, along with a biography (no more than 300 words), by 5pm on 11 November. New trustees will be appointed following a vote by members as part of the AGM on 22 November 2023.
