Trustee (Fundraising)

Grow is a nature-based youth development charity in Sheffield, dedicated to transforming the lives of marginalised and vulnerable young people aged 16-24. We work within deprived communities, supporting those who face barriers to employment and essential support—including mental ill-health, social isolation, and a lack of opportunities.

We blend coaching with hands-on nature projects and gardening, creating a safe space where young people can rebuild confidence and find purpose. By tackling mental health struggles and social isolation at the root, we equip young people with the skills, confidence, and resilience they need to thrive in life.

The role

This is an excellent opportunity to directly shape Grow's future and guide our fundraising efforts. We are seeking a strategic and passionate individual to support our Head of Fundraising in building a robust strategy that will diversify our income and help us achieve our goals.

You will provide expert guidance to our trustee board on developments in the fundraising sector and help us make informed decisions based on your fundraising expertise. This role also involves supporting key fundraising events and assisting with the monitoring of our progress against our targets.

If you are excited by the prospect of helping a small charity grow its impact and sustain its vital work, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

We aim to build a Trustee team with diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and skills, as we believe diversity is a strength.

We look forward to hearing from all interested candidates.
