Trustees play a vital governance role - ensuring Future Projects remains true to its mission, financially sound, and well run.
Future Projects is a well-established Norfolk charity tackling poverty, deprivation and disadvantage across the region. We run three interconnected services: community support and advice, a specialist school for children with SEND, and Future Radio - Norwich’s community radio station. Last year alone we delivered 1-to-1 support for over 1,000 people in need, supported 44 children with complex SEND, and had 39,000 people tune in to Future Radio each month. We are looking for two new trustees to join our board and help us build on this impact.
Who We’re Looking For
We welcome applications from any background, but would particularly value experience in one or more of the following areas:
• HR / People - workforce strategy, employment law, or organisational culture
• Education - ideally with knowledge of SEND, school governance, or the wider educational landscape
• Operations - particularly in food, FMCG, or community-facing service delivery
If you don’t fit neatly into these categories but feel you have something valuable to offer a diverse, impactful board, we’d still love to hear from you.
The Role
Trustees play a vital governance role - ensuring Future Projects remains true to its mission, financially sound, and well run. The core commitment is four board meetings per year, each lasting 2-3 hours, held remotely. We also hold an annual staff day, board strategy meeting, and AGM which we ask trustees to attend where possible, as strong board presence at these events matters to us. We ask for an initial term of three years.
Why Get Involved?
This is a chance to make a real difference to some of Norfolk’s most vulnerable people - and to bring your professional skills to bear on work that genuinely matters.
