Join our Trustee team

Founded in 2016, Little Village has grown from small beginnings in Tooting to a pan-London network of baby banks and support for families with babies and children under five.  We’ve supported over 32,000 children and we’re working hard to put the need for baby banks at the heart of conversations about tackling child poverty through our role as a Founding Partner of the newly launched Baby Bank Alliance.

We’ve achieved a huge amount with an amazing team, but there’s a lot more to do, and we need more expertise to help us achieve that.  That’s why we’re looking for new trustees to join our Board in 2024.

Who are we looking for?

As our organisation continues to grow at pace, we are looking for some specific expertise as well as more general experience (but we don’t need any previous board or trustee experience).  We’d like to appoint one trustee with experience of raising charity income and engagement as well as one or two other trustees with more general experience, especially a commercial or entrepreneurial background.

As we recruit new members we are particularly keen to broaden the diversity of skills and experience on our Board and would particularly welcome applications from people with lived experience of poverty (as a parent or as a child), and those with volunteering experience (at Little Village or elsewhere). We would also like to create a better gender balance and so are looking for more male applicants.

How to apply

If joining the Little Village family sounds interesting, we are very much looking forward to hearing from you.  There are more details in this pack, including how to book an informal conversation to ask questions before you apply: Trustee Recruitment Pack 2024

The closing date for applications is 9am on Monday 30th September.  Apply here.
