We're open to candidates from a range of fundraising backgrounds and income streams. What matters most is your track record of generating income, your ability to build strong relationships, and your enthusiasm for rolling up your sleeves and making things happen.

We're keen to hear from people who can demonstrate:

• Successful fundraising and income generation
• Strong relationship-building and stakeholder management skills
• Experience developing fundraising plans, campaigns or partnerships
• Confidence working autonomously and influencing at senior levels
• A proactive, hands-on approach and entrepreneurial mindset

Why apply?
This is an opportunity to build something special within an organisation committed to improving lives, reducing inequalities and strengthening communities. You'll have genuine ownership, significant visibility and the chance to help shape the future of fundraising within a growing and ambitious organisation.

Closing date: 12 October 2026

What would Lancashire look like if all women were fully seen, heard and supported?

At Lancashire Women, we've spent more than 40 years working alongside women across Lancashire, creating safe spaces, providing practical support and challenging the inequalities that continue to affect women's lives. From mental health and wellbeing services to support for women in the criminal justice system, our work helps thousands of women each year to find stability, confidence and opportunity.

As we look to the future, we're ambitious about the role we can play in supporting women and influencing change. We're strengthening partnerships, expanding our reach and building our voice as an advocate for women across Lancashire and beyond.

Location: Lancashire, but most meetings held remotely 
Time Commitment: Approx. 6 hours per calendar month
Renumeration: Voluntary, with reasonable expenses covered

To help us achieve that ambition, we're looking for new Trustees that will ensure our Board reflects and celebrates the diversity and voices of women across Lancashire.

This is an opportunity to contribute to the strategic direction of an established, forward-thinking charity with a local reputation we’d love you to feel proud of. You'll work alongside a committed Board and leadership team, helping to ensure Lancashire Women remains financially sustainable, well-governed and focused on delivering the best possible impact for the women we serve.

We're particularly interested in hearing from people with experience in:

• Finance
• Legal services
• The criminal justice system

However, professional expertise is only part of the picture. We're equally interested in hearing from people who bring different perspectives, backgrounds and lived experiences. We’re not yet as representative as we want to be, and we're absolutely committed to building a Board that better reflects and celebrates the diversity of women across Lancashire.

You definitely don't need previous trustee experience to apply.

What matters most is a commitment to our mission, good judgement, strategic thinking and a willingness to contribute your time, expertise and perspective.

Over the next few years, Lancashire Women will be making important decisions about its future. Our staff and volunteers will need thoughtful support, constructive challenge and strong governance to help turn ambition into reality. We're looking for Trustees who are ready and excited to play an active role in that journey.

If you're passionate about tackling inequality, improving outcomes for women and helping shape the future of a charity that changes lives every day, we'd love to hear from you.

How to apply

A short CV or profile is a great starting point, but not essential. If you’d like application details or to arrange an informal conversation about the role, please get in touch.

Our Regional Director, Amelia Lee, is leading this opportunity as a proud Trustee of Lancashire Women and she’d love to share more.

Deadline: 9am on Monday 26^th October
