About The Organisation

Young people who experience homelessness are likely to experience it later in life too. Our purpose is to break this cycle.

For over 30 years, we have been working with youth supported housing services strategically and on the ground to develop as Youth Foyers and centre young people’s potential.

Few organisations make meaningful impact with young people across housing, employment, education, wellbeing and personal development. This is what the Youth Foyer Network lives and breathes – but, in the face of growing challenges faced by young people and a volatile funding environment, Youth Foyers are under mounting pressure.

Position Description

Who we’re looking for:

We are looking to recruit Trustees with experience of:

  • charity finance
  • grants and donations, including corporate and individual giving
  • policy (education, housing or youth)
  • lobbying and campaigning
  • digital transformation

We appreciate that people have different skills, confidence and experience, so we don’t expect you to know everything or get stuck in straight away.

We’ll provide lots of support and guidance to help you settle in and get the absolute most out of your time as a Foyer Federation Trustee.

The commitment:

Trustees serve a three year term and attend one meeting every two months, mostly online.

When you are required to attend an in-person meeting or event, your travel expenses will be covered.

On average, Trustees give 2-4 hours of their time per month, in addition to meetings.
