WeMindTheGap Trustees

Having recruited and onboarded 4 new Trustees early in 2026, we have now undertaken an updated skills audit and identified some gaps that we would like to fill by recruiting new Trustees with specific skills and experience. In addition, two of our long-serving Trustees have decided the time is right for them to stand down from our Board having helped shape and grow our organisation successfully over the last 10 years. We are now looking to fill 3 specific roles: 

• Technology, Data and Digital Transformation Trustee 

• Finance Trustee and Chair of our Finance, Risk and Audit Committee 

• Business Development and Commercial Growth Trustee 

As a Trustee you will play a vital role in shaping the next chapter of WeMindTheGap, helping us deliver life-changing opportunities for young people who deserve more.  

 

The Job: WeMindTheGap Trustee

WeMindTheGap started with a simple thought: ‘what opportunities would be created for our most underserved young people if they had access to the love, care, skills and support that most of us take for granted?’ 

Our vision is simple but bold: a world where every young person feels they belong — where they can thrive, build independence, and have the skills and confidence to shape their own future. 

Our mission is to harness the power of communities — walking alongside young people with love, care and curiosity to create new opportunities and lasting change. 

We are proud to be an award-winning organisation creating real, lasting change for young people who deserve more. And we’re not standing still. Alongside our core programmes, we’re developing a Profit for Good social enterprise model to strengthen our financial sustainability and supercharge our impact. 

To help us on this next stage, we are looking for new Trustees to join our Board.
